Fyrestarter, you wrote that 'In General Introduction to Psychoanalysis , Freud wrote, "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity"'
I actually just downloaded a PD version of that book and no where in it does Freud say that. Freud does imply that a fear off weapons in dreams is a sign of a fear of adult sexuality.
The idiot who was trying to make a joke about how Freud and fraud sound alike and that therefore must mean something, is an idiot. Freud is not all that hard to understand. Many people have read him and understand him. I am a believer in private gun ownership, so my criticism here is not against owning guns, but is a criticism of some of the stupid people who have posted in this thread. I do believe you must have good impulse control and be responsible to own a gun. Too bad some of you own weapons.
By the way, MEC, analytic theory is far from quackery. There is plenty of current research which validates much of Freud's work.
Mec, you are like someone who criticizes a gun he has never used.
