  • We've all heard the theory: Gun owners must be overcompensating for something - or rather, their lack of "something." The bigger the gun or the more guns a guy has, the smaller his ---- must be, right? There's even a hypothesis called the “psychosexual theory of gun ownership”.
    Well, a team of sociologists from The University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas A&M University, and Florida State University finally decided to put the theory to the test. Earlier this month, they published their findings in the American Journal of Men's Health. The results may or may not surprise you...

    I’m disappointed there were no appendix carry jokes.

    Show goes off the rails in the first four minutes, a new record! Brent's frozen visage was that spit-take moment, so you know.

    All I can say is it was a good thing that I’m home all by myself and was not wearing earbuds when I started watching and listening to this, because I was howling with laughter. It was absolutely hysterical. And Ashley. Geez, what a trooper!

    The people that commissioned this study thought "ammosexual" was a slur.

    I think it was Cooper who first remarked that if the “compensation” theory was true, no man would ever buy a 2 inch revolver (my most recent purchase was a 1.875” Model 638, before that a 4” MR73).

    I had already heard about this from another source but you guys had me cracking up. I almost lost it when Ashlee said something about a sliding scale. 🙂

    Only anti-gunners could waste money on something so ridiculous.

    Perfect timing. I was just settling in with a freshly poured beer to watch the Gun Cranks when the door bell rang. It was the UPS guy with my latest ammo shipment. Now I don't have to sing the 32-20 Blues anymore. 4 inch barrel, but it is 32-20WCF. What do the scientists make of that?
    Maybe an idea for a show topic. Gun related songs. 32-20 Blues. Bad, Bad Leroy brown got a 32 gun in his pocket.

      They didn't address whether the length of your firearm barrel correlates in any way with the length of your personal "barrel."

    At about 11 minutes the question was asked, Where does this discussion go from here?. I thought, “only up” …. but I was wrong. The up side is that you set a new record for giggling. 🙄

    It's been a while since I was in Sunday School but I seem to recall that Pride (AKA- Vanity, Vainglory) was a Cardinal Sin....
    Aside from that- absolutely hilarious episode- from a guy who carries a compact!!

    What about the women's side. Is there a study regarding firearm ownership and the woman's satisfaction with their endowment?

    Pride comes before a fall, and so does the reading of social science research. 😇

    Did the research paper show that gun size/number had an effect beyond age ? That is a caveat which will be brought up

    I think this is the first video I have no comment for EXCEPT it appears that Ashley and I have the same anniversary.
    25 years for me.
    And Brent's face being frozen was pretty funny.......Brent has left the chat.

    • @fmgpubs
      @fmgpubs  2 місяці тому +1

      We recorded this a few days ago. 11 years on June 15. Happy Anniversary! 25 years sure is something to be proud of - especially these days! - Ashley

    Was that footage of the Wish version of Gunsite?

    I know a lot of women who love guns and shooting. The fact that I own guns increases...let's say...the circumstances...under which I get to use the appendage which is the subject of the study. Therefore, I have no reason to be dissatisfied with what I'm "packing", so to speak. Maybe anti-gun women are less likely to be attracted to the men who share their beliefs. Which is totally understandable, TBH.

    In a previous show y'all indicated there was a special price to get s subscription to Guns and American Handgunner. The link provided did not work. I made a call to the subscription number and the young lady said the system wasn't working with the offer. I sent an e-mail to Brent but never got a reply. I had asked if I could get the deal to renew both of my subscriptons.
