After reading this article I feel about the same as I did before. This article in my opinion was correct about almost everything they talked about.  It is almost common sense to know that most of the murders or killings we have were cause because of males. Males sometimes feel a sense of manhood being lost and they feel they should do something super irrational and act out in a way that makes them feel like a man again. The main reason for males and females to have a wide difference in killing or being killed, is age. “At age 10, males and females have an equal probability of being murdered. But by the time men are into their 20's, they become six times more likely to be murdered.”- statement from CNN news. At the same time males also have a greater competitive drive than females do. It is a natural instinct to be better than the next person. Being put into high risk situations compels males to be the most macho manly man possible.  

            Giving mentally unstable males, a competitive drive alone can be enough to spark a flame that could get out of hand but as soon as you add guns it gets twice as easy. When people get together and add drugs, alcohol, and guns it almost always ends in a conflict. So us as males should be more careful in choosing the situations we get ourselves in. We also need to be careful when picking the people we surround ourselves by. "After I picked up the handgun," he explained, "I brought it back to my room and felt a new sense of power. Who's the alpha male now, bitches?" this is a quote out of the article I read. That alone makes me feel like I should have trust issues.
