As measured by hot sauce
Apparently, guns cause aggression. As measured in ounces of hot sauce. Or something.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I recall this study. It came out some years ago, or the report is about a repeat of the one I recall.
This is so obviously flawed a study that I can only laugh.
Of such studies are undergraduate research projects made, at small college Psychology Departments across the nation.

Actually, it makes sense to a certain degree primarily because gun ownership is not widespread. It’d be interesting to see the study itself and see the break down of the ages of the men in the study as well as if they recorded or controlled for persons who own guns (and how long they’ve owned or been exposed to guns). My guess is that the majority of subjects were college aged males who did not have a lot of experience with firearms.

Madrocket has a good point.
And; what doesn’t make an 18 to 22 year-old college student’s testosterone rise?

This study is so laughably flawed in it’s scientific method that it couldn’t possibly be taken seriously by anyone with even an elementary understanding of any field of science, including psychology. Teenaged males are able to anonymously harmlessly injure another male, who they do not know? These tests don’t appear to have been performed with the same males having handled both objects and then measured for their testosterone. This is just stupid.
Adding hot sauce does not directly translate to aggessive behavior. Which I will demonstrate with the following formula: Water+Hot Sauce= Gross. If you like Hot Sauce, and the person in front of you gives you nasty tasting water with just a couple of drops of hot sauce, not knowing how many drops he put into your glass, you might try to spare the next guy that nasty water taste by adding what you assume would be your preferred level of spiciness.
If you were the guy who received too much, you might be so inclined to play that trick on the next guy, or to be a nice guy and put in slightly less. There’s no effective way of concluding this no matter what inanimate object was present at the time, regardless of what these partisans may indicate. They had a conclusion, so they created a “test” which would verify it. Nothing new here, move along.
