Ever wonder why gun nuts always seem paranoid?

Study: Holding a Gun Influences You to Think Others are Armed

Quote:

If you?ve been following the news about Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teen who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer claiming he acted in self defense, you may be wondering why the man thought the teen was armed. The 17-year old evidently had nothing in his hands except a bag of skittles and a can of ice tea. He never brandished a weapon of any sort, gun or otherwise.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame may have uncovered the answer: their research suggests that holding a gun influences you to think others have a gun, too.

They don't know anything. This information is based on 5 experiments with vague details only published in the ~Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance~.

So you aren't qualified to quote the experiment or call anyone dumb.

Did some bad man molest you with the barrel of his .45? Now you seek anti-gun attention as a way of lashing out when what you really want is to feel the cold hard steel go up your ass again?

Am I close?

Rochard · 01-14-2013, 08:51 PM

I can see this as being true. If you live in fear of everyone else, you start seeing things.

If thought I was threatened by someone, I would leave. I don't want to get into a fist fight over some stupid shit, nor do I want to be involved in a shooting.

Actually, I was disturbed by the cold blooded murder of 20 children by a lone gunman.

But thanks for that glimpse into your psyche.

I read it, dicklick. I read everything I post. I figure it's only polite to do so, if I expect others to spend time on it. It's an interesting study that came out of a outstanding school.

The Ph.D. who conducted the study has an impressive curriculum vitae. http://psychology.nd.edu/assets/8034...kmole_vita.pdf

I call bullshit. Give details about the study you read. How many people were in the study? Was this double-blind? How many in the control group? What were the backgrounds of the people? What were the nationalities?

Let's hear what you know about this study.

Everyone has an opinion you seem to have an agenda. And using murdered children as a crutch for getting attention and a reason for your dumb-ass posts is pitiful.

Who wouldn't be disturbed by that? Bad things happen sometimes in this world, it's far from perfect, and it can't be perfect without taking away people's freedom.

I like what this person has to say

I am really tired of the NRA. The second amendment might give people the right to bear arms, but I don't think it was a guarantee outside of a regulated militia. It doesn't say any thing about not taxing it.

I would like to see ammunition taxed at a rate that would recover the cost of swat teams, the increased security made necessary in public places by gun violence, victim compensation, emergency room costs for victims etc. The tax would likely have to be far in excess of the 50% being proposed to cover the costs. We pay all sorts of other user taxes (gas tax for instance), it is only fair to pass the cost of gun ownership to the user instead of the general public. I think it should be applied nationally against gun powder on a per grain of weight basis, to create a fund that reimburses the states for the above cost. I know this is a tall order, so I really appreciate the effort to get it started. Hopefully the national government will finally get it's act together, but I am not holding my breath

Well, that's one way to look at it. A lazy way, but a way nonetheless.

And do you really think "taking away people's freedom" would make this a perfect world?

"An agenda"

Well, if you call wanting sane, common-sense legislation an "agenda," then I guess you're right.

And I'm supposed to ignore the fact 20 children were obliterated by a lone gunman wielding weapons of war? Is that your plan?

Fuck you. It's an important issue and should be the subject of rigorous debate. If you aren't interested in the subject, read another thread.

Some good ideas in there. I imagine they would to appeal to any "fiscal conservative" or libertarian who understands the cost of gun violence in taxpayer dollars.

Quote:

In this report we share the findings of the Center for American Progress?s survey of the monetary costs incurred as a result of the murderous rampage at Virginia Tech five years ago. This paper assesses this cost at $48.2 million for the taxpayers of the United States and the commonwealth of Virginia, and for Virginia Tech, a public university. This report also demonstrates how the loopholes in the background-check system failed to protect American citizens from an armed and dangerous Seung-Hui Cho, costing innocent lives?many of them young ones. This was compounded by the legal use of high capacity magazines which transform often traditional firearms into killing machines.
