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?

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?

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

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?
