　　各位同学大家好，欢迎来到今天的酷学晨读。

　　美国是个多枪的国家，枪击案件频发，民众极大不满，但是禁枪的问题却久拖不决，这个国家为什么对于枪支如此留恋？请听@新东方黄培辰的解读，本文选自Scientific American

　　全文通读

　　Since the 2008 election of President Obama, the number of firearms manufactured in the U.S. has tripled, while imports have doubled. This doesn’t mean more households have guns than ever before—that percentage has stayed fairly steady for decades. Rather, more guns are being stockpiled by a small number of individuals. Three percent of the population now owns half of the country’s firearms, says a recent study from the Injury Control Research Center at Harvard University.

　　So, who is buying all these guns?

　　The short, broad-brush answer to the question is this: men, who on average possess almost twice the number of guns female owners do. But not all men. Some groups of men are much more avid gun consumers than others. The American citizen most likely to own a gun is a white male—but not just any white guy. According to a growing number of scientific studies, the kind of man who stockpiles weapons or applies for a concealed-carry license meets a very specific profile.
