Headlines like “NORMAL GUY” or “AVERAGE AMERICAN” with a post featuring an EDC GUN are inaccurate — average people don’t EDC a gun.

I’m not complaining about gun pics. I like seeing all the different EDC options. And obviously a large percentage of people in this sub are people who appreciate firearms.

I’m a gun owner myself. I own multiple firearms.

But I feel like this sub is fetishizing guns to a dishonest degree… focusing on guns as part of a typical EDC, when the actual statistics don’t reflect that.

Approximately 32% of Americans are firearm owners, and roughly 18% of those gun owners state they carry a gun every day.

So headlines like “NORMAL GUY” or “AVERAGE AMERICAN” with a post featuring an EDC gun are inaccurate — bordering on dishonest. It’s not even close to being true.

Normal people don’t EDC a gun. The Average American doesn’t EDC a gun. In fact, the VAST MAJORITY of people in the world don’t EDC a gun.

Why is this obvious bullshit being normalized in this sub?

If you EDC a gun you are (statistically) ABNORMAL, and DO NOT meet the definition of AVERAGE American — when measured by that standard.

Are people being sarcastic?

Or do the people posting these headlines actually believe that the average American carries a gun with them every day??

Because the average American DOES NOT carry a gun.
