Guns as equalizers in violent acts, psychiatrists say
Boston Globe reports Dr. Walter Menninger of Topeka explains why certain individuals are more prone to use handguns. He says the gun is an equalizer that flatters fears of inferiority, with cases of a 40-year-old man who killed a police officer and a fearful woman who pulled a revolver on her psychiatrist. Subconscious motives and gender norms help explain why males own most guns in the U S.
