"Access to guns" means owning a gun, as well as carrying one outside the home. It doesn't mean ability to purchase a firearm.
Exactly what I said. It's a survey and subject to the party saying whatever they want. Like asking someone if they think they are fat. Maybe you don't understand what is involved in proper clinical research.
No it doesn't mean that. But I do agree the entire report is weasel worded enough to make one think that 10% of Americans are running around crazy and firing guns at the rest.
Where do you live? I bet I could go there and have a gun in my hands in less than 12 hours.
exactly. Access is a strange word to use for this type of study. Owning guns would be better. Access could simply mean going down to your local walmart and buying a shotgun.
Almost one in 10 Americans has a history of impulsive and angry behavior and ready access to guns, new research indicates.
The serious mental health issues that would legally prevent someone from purchasing a gun -- such as involuntary commitment to a psychiatric ward for schizophrenia or bipolar disorder -- only account for about 4 percent of U.S. gun violence, noted study author Jeffrey Swanson.
The lead author, Jeffrey Swanson, Ph.D, has been pushing gun control for years, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation doesn't hide their politics when it comes to pushing new gun control laws.
The outcome of this "study" was predetermined from the day it was funded.
I think if that were the case, it would have been more than 1 in 10.

I do. And while one might question the validity of self reported surveys, they are in fact used by those who gather data and who take that error into account.

I think the people up on the food chain in DC should be taken a closer look as the damage they have done to the country causes an incredible stress. I am surprised the nation hasn't spazzed out under the damage done to the country in such a short time. Americans are holding up relatively well under the pressure of policies that are destroying the nation, within and without.

And what are we going to do about it now, Johnny? My suggestion is to stay away from angry people with guns.
