Roughly 22 million Americans -- 8.9 percent of the adult population-- have impulsive anger issues and easy access to guns. 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.
Those are the key findings of a new study by researchers from Harvard, Columbia and Duke University. "Anger," in this study, doesn't simply mean garden-variety aggravation. It means explosive, uncontrollable rage, as measured by responses to the National Comorbidity Survey Replication in the early 2000s. It is "impulsive, out of control, destructive, harmful," lead author Jeffrey Swanson of Duke University said in an interview. "You and I might shout. These individuals break and smash things and get into physical fights, punch someone in the nose."
Angry people with guns are typically young or middle-aged men, according to Swanson's research. They're likely to be married, and to live in suburban areas. In a recent op-ed, Swanson and a co-author point to Craig Stephen Hicks, a North Carolina man who "had frightened neighbors with his rages and had a cache of fourteen firearms" and who shot three Muslim students earlier this year, as a quintessential example of an enraged gun owner.

What do they expect from bitter,deplorable, racist,religous clingers? Don’t piss us off and you won’t have any problems.
A recent study I performed proves that 99% of Washington Post journalists report crappy fake news.
Washington Post == fake news

LOL
What do they expect from bitter,deplorable, racist,religous clingers? Don’t piss us off and you won’t have any problems.
The actual article is dated April 8, 2015. I don’t understand why you refer to a “new study.”
Nor do I understand why the article should be posted under the “News/Activisim” category.
Those issues aside, have we suffered the explosion of gun violence that the author of the article obviously believes must happen, an explosion due to all those angry gun owners?
Don’t think so.
EVERY American conservative who has any contact at all with a liberal is going to have anger issues. EVERY liberal has anger issues because they suffer from a mental illness. I think 1 out of 10 is way too low.
SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! THIS ARTICLE PISSES ME OFF! I JUST WANT TO CLEAN MY GUNS, OK!
Right...and no anger exist with Muslims...they’re not angry shouting aloosnackbar!
So the malevolent MSM has access to guns?
Nearly 1o in 10 Washington Post readers have severe anger issues and are mentallyy ill.
Actually, the author’s study is probably rather accurate... so I would advise him, DON’T MESS WITH US!
OK. Soooo...?
And at least 90% of gun crimes are committed by rat party voters.
.. and with those results (that leftists are 100 times more likely to commit gun crimes), perhaps we add that to the federal form and PROHIBIT leftists from owning guns, due to the risk to society.<<
and never allow them to vote for that very same reason.....
Police Officer in the lane next to me at the range this morning loaded his 40 with 9mm and couldn’t figure out the problem.
I’m keeping my guns.
Define “severe”.
Define “easy”.

I’m angry at myself for not owning more bang sticks.
