Recent research shows a significant correlation between the possession of guns and a man’s satisfaction with his sexual equipment.
In 2016, an editorial in HuffPost argued that “the compulsion to own firearms stems from an unconscious need to compensate for a deep-seated psychological sense of insecurity and inadequacy in terms of power: in males, specifically for having a small or smaller-than-desired penis” (Blumenfeld, 2016). In 2020, John Cleese, a famous comedian, quipped on Twitter that “the British are proud that they DON’T [emphasis in original] need a gun to make themselves feel manly” and that Americans need “assault weapons” to “keep ED [erectile dysfunction] away” (Smith, 2020).
In a recent paper, researchers decided to test the theory with actual data. The collection of the data was funded by a group that desires to disarm the American population. From newatlas.com:
The researchers disclosed that data collection for the study was financially supported by the organization Change the Ref, whose mission is “Shifting America’s social response to gun violence by uniting creativity, activism, disruption, and education.” The researchers state that although Change the Ref has a clear anti-gun stance, it played no role in the planning or implementation of the study.
The study was published in the American Journal of Men’s Health.

It takes a special kind of stupid to allow commedians to form one's view of the world. It's not unique to leftists, either: I notice some people on this forum doing that very thing.
Soyboys go shooting. Hilarity ensues.
“...one who doesn’t want to lead or be a leader but will do so because you feel a sense of obligation to do the right thing.”
I had to laugh as you triggered a memory. I had just wrapped up a meeting. I was exhausted. A whiny guy who never contributed anything said, “Why are you always the leader?” I sighed and said, “You want to lead? I’ll keep the minutes and maintain the action register and you set the agenda.” It looked as if he delated. He made some huffy noises and left. The female coworker said, “Okay, now that was hilarious.”
Good story. Thx.
Sigmas don’t give a rip what other people think of them, are comfortable in their own skin, and consequently have high satisfaction with life. And probably own guns (plural), because they want to (and that’s sufficient reason).
Only after using their gun to eliminate the wife?
Just kidding. Sick joke that was.
Wow. How about that…. Freud agrees with me…..😉
That took long enough.
That quote (Post 40) “A fear of weapons is a signs of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.” is NOT from Sigmund Freud.
Yes, that is a gun in my pocket.
Must have been Lincoln, then. Maybe Churchill.
Oh, ok.I guess I fell for that one.🙂 I don’t think I really want to be associated with Freud anyway.
A woman to a guy: Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?....
