LOL they needed a scientific study for this

Yeah, they did.

Their hypothesis was that men who were dissatisfied with the size of their penises were more likely to own guns. The opposite ended up being the case.

In other words, guns work

In other words, to solve the gun problem make men feel like they have small dicks.

i didn't read it, but what was the methodology? did they do a survey of dudes who own 50 guns and ask "do you think your penis is big enough?" and did they expect those dudes in particular to be honest?

doubt

Boy, if only there was a way you could get that information. Wouldn't it be convenient if there was a link to the paper's abstract so you wouldn't have to talk out of your ass?

i have to read scholarly crap at work. not doing it on my own time. especially for things i don't give that much of a rat's ass about

So maybe don't run your mouth if you're unrepentantly uninformed.

lol i was asking a question, not making claims.

i'll comment all i feel like, and you'll do nothing. except apparently whine about it

I didn't know it was possible to say "I'm a jackass" without saying "I'm a jackass". TIL.

Self reported data is always suspect. What was their margin of error?
