Old argument. Has been used in California to make more and more people prohibited persons.

The anti-civil rights lobby wants to swell the listing of prohibited persons.

“It is reasonable to imagine,” Swanson and his colleagues conclude, that people who are angry, aggressive, and impulsive have an arrest history. Accordingly, they advocate gun restrictions based on indicators of this personality type, such as convictions for misdemeanor violence, DUIs, and restraining orders. This, they think, would do a much better job of reducing gun violence than a focus on certified mental illness.

So, no guns for a 53 year old father of three who got in a fight in a bar near Fort Bragg at a 21 year old E-4?

No guns for someone who blew over .08 when they were 19?

The Left's obsession with criminality exhausts me. "Show me the man and I will show you the crime."

That didn't make me angry at all. In fact, it made me laugh. It also made me feel a little bit sorry for people that think like this.

This means you are NOT one of the 22 million

All those angry people out there is scary. Best bet is to carry my gun.

I wonder how how many in law enforcement or the military have "anger issues"? Not trying to start a fight, but think about the silly criteria.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

That site probably gets most of their traffic from gun sites.

Complete liberal rubbish.

This is the G rated version of what I was thinking!

I ask, can these people realy be that stupid? Even just a few of them? How do they ever manage to get through a whole day unassisted? Do they wipe the drool off of their own faces?

No replies needed. I was just asking rhetorically.

 

[singlemalt]

Oh yeah, I don't think I'm one of them but I'll let ya know if that changes.

So, "impulsive", and exhibits "outbursts of anger" - but what crime have they committed? National statistics indicate that the subset of people who carry firearms commit crime an order or two of magnitude less frequently than the population at large - regardless of their impulsiveness or propensity to angry outbursts.

Most of the people that I know that are perpetually angry or mentally ill are die hard liberals.

Wonder if someone would fund a study for me on this....

 

[JettaKnight]

Not even going to bother to read it.

From another article, the headline: "Christians need to accept that Jesus was sometimes wrong—in fact, he might even want us to."

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

Restraining orders...DUI...

Doesn't Indiana already do that...and it does zero good?...

 

[searpinski]

Own over six guns? Check
Angry? Check (angry at nonsensical liberal arguments)
Carry outside home? Check (for my family's safety)

My guns should be taken away obviously.

Over the course of a career? Probably a pretty significant amount have anger issues at some point. I started having some anger control issues after dealing with a child shot in the neck, took advantage of our program for such things, and moved on. Being angry and shooting someone willy-nilly aren't the same thing.

Ridiculous article...more sensationalist BS from the left.
