Like I said, I could GAIN access, but I don't HAVE access. Where I live is irrelevant.
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?
LOL. CBS did not write that article. They simply parroted an opinion piece. It fulfills CBS's continuing agenda of reporting articles against gun ownership. Furthermore it wasn't a controlled research project. It was a survey.
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.
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.
only time I get angry is when someone steps across my threshold uninvited. Now you can take of that statement what you will but it is a line in the sand...and unlike Soetero I don't waver.
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?
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.
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.
