Shock news: weapons inspire aggression!

It never ceases to amaze me what "psychologists" are prepared to "research" these days. Here we have the astonishing, positively gob-smacking discovery that if you put a potent symbol of violence and power in a man's hand this causes an increase in testosterone in his saliva and inspires him to put more hot-sauce in a drink for his neighbor. To put it succinctly: give him a gun and he gets aggressive. Who'd've thunk it?
