Study: Guns 'Disproportionately Owned' By Those Prone To Angry, Impulsive Behavior

If you already have an anger management problem, it's not going to help if you have easy access to guns:
The more guns you own the more likely you are to be subject to angry outbursts that you cannot control.
This conclusion about Americans and their guns comes from a study published this week in the journal Behavioral Sciences. Researchers found that some 9 percent of people in the United States have both guns and significant anger issues.
"The new research also indicates that the 310 million firearms estimated to be in private hands in the United States are disproportionately owned by people who are prone to angry, impulsive behavior and have a potentially dangerous habit of keeping their guns close at hand," the Los Angeles Times reports. "That's because people owning six or more guns were more likely to fall into both of these categories than people who owned a single gun."
The study, by psychology researchers from Duke, Harvard and other universities, states that "a large number of individuals in the United States self-report patterns of impulsive angry behavior and also possess firearms at home (8.9%) or carry guns outside the home (1.5%)."
The study's findings are drawn from in-depth interviews with 5,563 Americans over the past decade. The key conclusion is that public policymakers' focus on keeping guns from those with diagnosed mental illness does little to reduce the risks posed by the high level of private gun ownership in the United States.
republicans and NRA have been on a mission to arm the crazies you've heard me say that many times it's disproportional in one way because they kill Blacks or Hispanics with open carry if they are foolish enough to apply or report them as having a gun police ride in kill them and all is well back on the ranch.  

there is a method to this madness and the right wing is sponsoring it and republicans implement it.  there is an engame and it's not written as we being the victors.  we can hope for a better way like maybe the idiots who gave the other idiots the guns and the right to carry them in a bar and church will kill each other off before they can kill the rest of us, once the taste gets in their mouth they will want more of a variety that means you with the lighter butts are fair game too.

together we can fight this law but only together where does your patriotism begin???
