thats why you should be armed to protect yourself against these angry people.

Nah, I only get mad when people break in and steal my sh!t. Isn't that the reason we got guns... :shaka:

Again, the argument goes like this: if people, not guns, kill people, then it only makes sense to limit gun access
among the most dangerous people. Swanson's research suggests it's time to move the conversation past the
low-hanging fruit of serious mental illness, and start asking which other types of behavior might reasonably
disqualify a person from owning a gun.
This is the entire premise of the article. If we can't effectively identify and disarm the mentally ill (partially because the Liberals push quite hard to protect the rights of the mentally ill, which resulted in many of them now living on the streets), then the gun haters will start looking for the next pigeonhole they can shove us into.
The biggest problem with classifying people's behavior is there is no definitive way to PREDICT behavior in the future. Some people have remarkable self-control, but are absolutely the angriest people on the planet. There are others who show no animosity ever, but are psychopaths. They have no conscience, no empathy (how does what I do make my victim feel?), or no self-control.
Before we start labeling people who don't hide their feelings well as dangerous, let's start looking at the actual demographics of past violent gun situations. Psychotropic medications seem to be a common denominator in many of the events, however the topic is not discussed often in public forums. Why not? I can think of many reason$, but one in particular is, we are reluctant to blame the very remedy that is supposed to cure these people. That would imply (1) they can't be cured, and (2) the people prescribing and producing the remedy are potentially liable to some extent in the violent outcome which opens then up to criminal or civil actions.
You can't predict human behavior any more than you can legislate it. You are therefore treading on thin ice when you attempt to preemptively punish someone by labeling them as "risky" in order to violate their Constitutional rights.

I also wonder how many of those "mad people that have access to guns" are legal gun owners.

I've actually had 2 separate incidents where some dumbass tried to start a fight with me at Kokohead.
It's funny how people are dumb enough to start crap at a shooting range.

I read the story 3 times, and I still don't see the "link."
I bet there are studies that show all crimes, violent and property, increase during periods of high unemployment and low economic growth. There is a very high percentage of young high school and college graduates who are unable to find work. It's a fact that drug abuse tends to increase as people have more time and stress in their daily lives. That includes alcohol.
Yeah, it's probably the increase in conceal carry causing it! :wacko:

As they say, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. Having anger issues doesn't necessarily make someone likely to murder someone.

How about this'n

Another BS study intended to promote the idea that gun control is "good".
This is typical "Libthink".
"Because I can't control my emotions and would kill people for spitting gum on the sidewalk or disagreeing with me, everyone else must be the same". Liberalism is a mental disorder. They simply can't comprehend that everyone gets angry now and again, and just because we own guns doesn't mean we'll shoot everyone we're angry with. It's a total disconnect with reality. They simply refuse to recognize that the vast majority of gun crimes are committed by criminals with illegally obtained firearms.

Maybe it's not wise to piss off roughly half the US (those who own guns) by calling them names, accusing them of being responsible for the tiny percentage who use guns for murder, and passing laws designed to do nothing but make the legal purchase and enjoyment of firearms a complete PITA!!
Imagine if the half of the US WITH guns really were as angry as the article in this thread tries to paint us. If that was true, it would stand to reason there would be way fewer gun control supporters!! :rofl:

Sorry.
Thought it would be good to share what we are up against. We (gun owners) are being painted with a really broad brush.
Are you angry? Do you own a gun? :rofl:

Good article! I just had a customer who falls into this category.

I get angry when our elected officials try to take away my 2a rights.
I consider this rightful anger. Whoever doesn't feel angry about it is abnormal and likely suffer some form of mental retardation.
-
what? but the 2 week waiting period is to "cool off"' right? ??? cause obviously this works cause gun control, how can anyone even be mad? lol this just proves that the cool off period doesn't work, just cause your angry doesn't mean you want to kill right away
-
what's the numbers on people + prescription meds too. something like half of California is on psych drugs. imagine if that pipeline was shut off. yeah, that plus all the other problems of that place is why I'm not there.

Assuming this ludicrous factoid is true and that's a big if, that leaves 9 of us sound minded gun owners to tip the scales.
