Im not saying firing a weapon is emasculating. I'm saying you can reduce the toxic masculinity aspect of gun ownership through cultural enforcement. Safe gun use can be taught strictly with respect for the dangers of mishandling guns (even intentionally) enforced.

In other words, make gun ownership normal, understood, and uncool.

This presumes that this is actually the (an) issue.

Normal is the issue: you can't subjugate a widely-armed population.
