The long-held myth that men who own guns are...um...OVERCOMPENSATING for a lack of something......has been debunked by scientists!! There's a new study published in the American Journal of Men’s Health from researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio, who found that men who are quite satisfied with certain "physical assets" are most likely to have guns. So, it's basically the exact opposite. The correlation between the male sexual psyche and behaviors like buying big houses, driving loud cars and dating young women is a common source of comedy in popular culture as well a topic of legitimate sociological speculation, including the suggestion that men who are preoccupied with guns are also insecure about their small package.
However, if you own a Howitzer...then, YES, you're probably overcompensating for something......
