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.

If the Democrats want to bring up gun control again, then MORE POWER TO THEM.
Without the issue, Bush Jr. would have lost in 2000, and Trump, very likely, would have lost last year. Gun Control is perhaps the only issue that literally can turn a flaming liberal into a solid Republican. I know of one case, was a total left-winger (at a tech company), bought a gun, and then did everything he could to get Trump elected.
Are Trump voters all torqued off? Nope...

What if the anger is justified?
“Ban liberals from owning guns”
That would be an interesting survey:
“Political Leanings of People Convicted of Gun Crimes”
... 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.
It’s about time we started playing by THEIR RULES.
If the wapo rally believed that then I would be careful about saying it. You might get confirmation of the danger.
... And yet there are fewer than 22 million deaths a year due to firearms possessed by those 22 million Americans with “anger” issues.

It's over two years old!
99.9% of these people with severe anger issues are Libtards.
98% of all reporters lie like rugs.

Washington Compost fake news
Yep. Bernie supporter.
Yep. Bernie supporter.
What kind of anger did it take to threaten a guy over a meme? Really? Who has the anger issues? Joe and Mika? Michael Moore? Alec Baldwin? Kathy Griffin? Tyler Shields? Rachel Maddow? and etc., ad nauseum. If the press does not stop this all out assault on conservative values with constant propaganda, they are going to create a situation that will get out of control. Stop. Just stop.
Some of them, especially the angry liberal democrats, even shoot congressmen.
Wapoo making daytime phone calls with loaded conversation starters.
The only 30 million armed Americans rampage any of us are going to see is when the Constitution is tossed for a dictatorship.
The thing about black Americans that a handful of people sometimes forget, is that they are Americans.
Because I can? Honestly didn't notice. It just may go along with the RAT underground thread Why are Deplorables always flying the American Flag?
