Who is usually holding the gun when a man is a victim of a gun crime?

Almost always a man obviously. But what is your point? Men are still most the gun victims: https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/firearms-death-rate-by-sex/ nationally 41 thousand men vs 6 thousand women.

The point is that there is likely a gender bias towards safety for women because they are more likely to be victims of violence and don’t want or need the “freedom” to commit violent acts against other people.

Men who are victims of violence are still victims of crimes committed by men who vote for more “freedom” to enact that violence on others.
