In my experience, the majority of men aren't obsessed with guns, so I'm going to assume you're talking about men in North America. If you go to almost anywhere else in the civilised world, you'll find that not only do most men not care about guns, there is often no valid reason to have one unless you like target shooting or hunting.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
