Rednecks and Guns ,[object Object],[object Object],Image from Charlestoncitypaper.com Myth: Rednecks/Hillbillies have been stereotyped and mocked for their defense of gun rights. We often mistake them for gun totin’ and gun wavin’ idiots. Many believe that they kill deer and other animals for fun. Truth: The vast majority of these so-called rednecks never hunt game for recreational purposes only. The meat is almost always used as a means of providing food for families and even the needy. According to their website, in 2006 Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry provided over 2 million meals for Kentucky families. www. huntersforthehungry .org

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Nor are they "bitter." In 2006, according to non-gunowner Arthur Brooks in his book Gross National Happiness, 36% of gun owners said they were "very happy," while 9% were "not too happy." Meanwhile, only 30% of people without guns were very happy, and 16% were not too happy. Image from www.coachwyatt.com

Rednecks and Incest ,[object Object],[object Object],Myth: Rednecks are inbred and incestuous. The “hillibillies” in the picture to the right is shown with the caption “The Dangers of Incest!” Truth: It is puzzling to hear those who stereotype hillbillies and rednecks as incestuous and “church goin’, Bible lovin’ fools.” Those accusations are contradictory. The overwhelming majority of the Bible Belt of the south strongly believes that incest is wrong and against God’s commandments. Image from www.ebaumsworld.com
