WASHINGTON — Roughly 22 million Americans — 8.9 percent of the adult population — have impulsive anger issues and easy access to guns. An estimated 3.7 million of these angry gun owners routinely carry their guns in public. And very few of them are subject to current mental health-based gun ownership restrictions.

There seems to be something missing in this report (study)...hmm...

My study discovered that all twenty three gun-haters in this country have personality issues ranging from anger-management problems to paranoia, and all have unrestricted access to computers and the internet.

Philosophers have been telling us for ages that the pen is mightier than the sword. My study "finds" that gun-haters should be prohibited access to the internet. Just too dangerous to the rest of the human race.

Seems to be an absence of a link to the actual study. Oh well, at least I won't have to carry that out with the trash.
