57. Self-evident, since you've chosen to confront me instead of address the study. nt

Nearly 1 in 10 Americans have severe anger issues and access to guns [View all] Electric Monk Apr 2015 OP

Drive by post with no comment Optical.Catalyst Apr 2015 #1

It's news that speaks for itself. I sure have experienced anger directed at me here in the gungeon. Electric Monk Apr 2015 #4

The news sure does speak for itself Optical.Catalyst Apr 2015 #6

Did this study make you angry? Seems like it. nt Electric Monk Apr 2015 #8

You seem to be the one who is angry Lurks Often Apr 2015 #10

LOL, speaking of meta, and with an axe to grind. Electric Monk Apr 2015 #12

Please explain in detail what you characterize as "angry" in the post you responded to. Marengo Apr 2015 #46

Saying the problem is not enough guns, in response to this study. Electric Monk Apr 2015 #47

A nonsensical response. You don't seem understand the definition of "angry"... Marengo Apr 2015 #49

I notice you haven't addressed the study, either, just focusing on me. Confrontationally, too. nt Electric Monk Apr 2015 #50

And I'm noticing your infantile game here... Marengo Apr 2015 #52

Ah, name calling. This study definitely hit a nerve with you. nt Electric Monk Apr 2015 #54

Odd, since I haven't read the study. I'm more interested in your need to characterize... Marengo Apr 2015 #58

I think petronius made some interesting points in reply #19, without being hostile about it. nt Electric Monk Apr 2015 #60

Let's return to the discussion of your definition of "angry" which you seem to be avoiding... Marengo Apr 2015 #62

To clarify, is this sarcasm or serious? Marengo Apr 2015 #89

If you re-read what I posted Optical.Catalyst Apr 2015 #90

That's how I interpreted your post, but someone else thinks you are advocating... Marengo Apr 2015 #91

We're in a thread about people with anger issues having access to guns, in the Gungeon Group... Electric Monk Apr 2015 #92

And you decided to cite that post, in another thread, as an example Marengo Apr 2015 #93

"They're likely to be married, and to live in suburban areas." NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #2

There's a certain segment in DU who wouldn't mind "...no married men..." anywhere. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #27

Young and middle aged men, huh? tularetom Apr 2015 #3

Yep, this qualifies as a simple post. flamin lib Apr 2015 #5

If the OP doesn't care enough to comment, why should I? n/t oneshooter Apr 2015 #9

The OP has defended the post. flamin lib Apr 2015 #13

Defending is not the same as commenting. n/t oneshooter Apr 2015 #15

I commented on it. flamin lib Apr 2015 #17

So, what you're saying is Shamash Apr 2015 #7

Your post is beneath the dignity of a response except to say that it is beneath . . . nt flamin lib Apr 2015 #14

Woe is me, I am devastated by the intellect displayed in your insightful rebuttal... Shamash Apr 2015 #16

As well you should be. See, we can agree! nt flamin lib Apr 2015 #18

Well said...logic works every time. ileus Apr 2015 #23

Excellent news...those 10% are why I carry. ileus Apr 2015 #11

Well, if it's any consolation, based on the behaviors displayed by the antis in our midst Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2015 #21

A couple of things that come to mind after a quick skim of the research paper itself: petronius Apr 2015 #19

It's a pertinent semantic quibble Erich Bloodaxe BSN Apr 2015 #55

The extent to which that first point matters depends on what inferences one wants petronius Apr 2015 #81

The focus on "ownership" is a capitalistic fettish. What matters is access. stone space Apr 2015 #83

Wait a minute... Shamash Apr 2015 #20

Anyone else notice, almost identical articles...All with the same premise... virginia mountainman Apr 2015 #22

mommy and bloomy approved... ileus Apr 2015 #24

Gun Control "Flavor 'O the Month"? DonP Apr 2015 #25

Next week we'll be discussing how Wal-Mart is being pressured to stop selling firearm & ammo. ileus Apr 2015 #26

Perhaps MSM is trying to get the squirrel to run the old gun control cage. Again. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #29

Do I see Russia Today among the usual suspects? Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #28

re: "usual suspects" there are literally dozens more, too Electric Monk Apr 2015 #30

Just asking discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2015 #31

In regards to people volunteering the info that they have anger issues and access to guns? Electric Monk Apr 2015 #32

There is the due process clause as well. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #36

I was referring to due process as a requirement... discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2015 #37

Oh, you've concluded it makes sense that something should be done, but how, legally? Electric Monk Apr 2015 #38

I addressed the issue of dangerous mental problems... discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2015 #40

If you genuinely believe that the number of places you can find a story Shamash Apr 2015 #33

I'm showing that this study has been noticed by many, yet you'd rather ignore it. Electric Monk Apr 2015 #34

Can I quote you on that? Shamash Apr 2015 #39

I'm familiar with it, but don't see what it has to do with this thread Electric Monk Apr 2015 #41

Amusing how you avoided quoting the -actual- report language Shamash Apr 2015 #42

I still don't see what that has to do with this OP, about gun owners with anger issues Electric Monk Apr 2015 #43

Please explain in detail what you characterize as "angry" in the post you responded to. Marengo Apr 2015 #45

If you don't see it, it's because you don't want to. nt Electric Monk Apr 2015 #48

Or more likely, it doesn't actually exist... Marengo Apr 2015 #51

"I think my assessment of you has been adequately demonstrated as correct. Again." Electric Monk Apr 2015 #53

And now you may explain why I'm "not happy about it"... Marengo Apr 2015 #56

Self-evident, since you've chosen to confront me instead of address the study. nt Electric Monk Apr 2015 #57

That isn't an answer to the question posed. Let's try again... Marengo Apr 2015 #64

You keep seeing anger blueridge3210 Apr 2015 #63

Another gunthusiast trying to make it about me instead of the news reports in the OP. Yay! Electric Monk Apr 2015 #65

"Seething"? Where is the evidence this poster is "seething"? Marengo Apr 2015 #66

I know them from previous encounters here in the gungeon, and they're trying to make it about me Electric Monk Apr 2015 #67

Fair enough, but "seething"? Usage of that usually implies intense anger... Marengo Apr 2015 #68

Your inability to justify the charges you level and the content of the study are separate issues... Marengo Apr 2015 #70

You wouldn't happen to be a middle aged white male who owns a lot of (6+, say) guns, would you? Electric Monk Apr 2015 #72

Why would you ask such a question, and why do you think many would take it personally? Marengo Apr 2015 #73

Run away. (nt) blueridge3210 Apr 2015 #74

Lovely night to walk the dog. I'm back. Do you have anything constructive to contribute yet? Electric Monk Apr 2015 #75

Uh, yeah. blueridge3210 Apr 2015 #78

What is "predictable"? Marengo Apr 2015 #71

"Gunthusiast"? blueridge3210 Apr 2015 #69

He's just another of our "online" psychiatrists that can diagnose you from one post DonP Apr 2015 #76

So, what did you think of the study in the OP there, Don? I think I could probably guess. Electric Monk Apr 2015 #77

Guess? Wow! Mind reading too now? Pity Ed Sullivan isn't on anymore DonP Apr 2015 #80

Yup. (nt) blueridge3210 Apr 2015 #79

Gun control has always been an elitist outlook. Without MSM, it wouldn't even be that. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #35

*chuckles... virginia mountainman Apr 2015 #44

Many of them are Law Enforcement Officers. n/t leveymg Apr 2015 #59

Oh, yes, I'm sure of that. I wonder how the percentages would break down, in a more detailed study? Electric Monk Apr 2015 #61

What do you propose? NutmegYankee Apr 2015 #82

Cool story bro. NaturalHigh Apr 2015 #84

You mad, bro? Electric Monk Apr 2015 #85

I know I've asked you this before... NaturalHigh Apr 2015 #86

Apparently, the belief is that appeals to ridicule will bring them political success friendly_iconoclast Apr 2015 #87

And it's so effective! NaturalHigh Apr 2015 #88
