You most certainly do have access. Access does not mean it is under your pillow. Go down to your gun shop and walk out with a legal gun in 30 minutes. That is access. You have access to health care too. Does it mean there is a clinic in your basement?

At least 10% of Congress have visions of Superiority and War. They also want to have Access to Nuclear Weapons.!!


I would worry about that more than folks with guns.

Logic fail.


Correlation does not imply causation.

This is the real article written by an outfit called "Healthday". This company is owned by another company, Scoutnews, which is owned by yet another company called Remedy Health Media. They make money from selling articles.

1 in 10 Americans Has Anger Issues and Access to Guns: Survey

IMO, it's nonsense.
If you read Sharyl Attkisson's book, it talks about how the major networks rarely do their own work anymore, and prefer to reprint what other sources come up with.
It is the antithesis of what reporting use t be by trying to break stories first via their own research and investigate journalism.
Sadly that is no longer the case, and it is likely to get worse.

The constitution is not to protect the people but to reign in the "elected". The second amendment is not vague. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" Do you need another course in 4th grade english or what?

I know a lot of gun owners that have a temper from time to time and none of them has pulled a gun on someone in anger, let alone shot anyone.

Heck; I think we have read enough about mental subjects well known for violence and threats of violence ;yet legally nothing can really be done under current laws. We have seen it time and time again. This sounds more like a anti-gun control study done with intent of proving what is supported by the authors; nothing else. Nothing new there.

If I go down to my local gun shop and walk out with a legal gun in 30 minutes, that is GAINING access. After 30 minutes, I may have access, but I currently DO NOT HAVE access to a gun.

This is not a difficult concept.

Glad I live in a state that requires background checks. Where one lives IS relevant.

Yes, I believe 1 in 10 gun owners have anger issues. I also believe their lack of anger management is well disguised to all but those close to them. Ask anyone that has been up close and personal with someone legally entitled to gun ownership but mentally unbalanced by a hair trigger (pun intended), and they will believe this stat, and agree, it could be higher.
