That’s wild that 93% of Americans have never driven in New Jersey.
Hell I don’t think an hour goes by that I don’t think of shooting someone
Here is the actual study, and the questionnaire they used can be found attached as Supplement 1
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2846565
And 93% of adults are liars.
Thinking about shooting’s kinda weird tho. Like, some won’t shut the fk up and you’re thinking about slapping them or strangling them? Yes lol

Absolutely, there’s a huge difference between thinking about doing something and then letting the thought go compared to doing anything on the path to actually doing it.
I often used to have intrusive violent or sexual thoughts about strangers I’d see out in the world. They were unwanted and I found them horrifying, and of course would never do anything like that to anyone. Medication eventually helped.

Only 7%? Yeah there are a lot of people 100% lying.
I’d say 93% are lying.
Mm, you can fixate on killing someone without using a gun.
You could use a knife, a rope, poison, there are any number of things you can use to kill someone.
Maybe that 93% just very specifically envisions harming others without guns!
Lol no, many of them are lying.
Woodchipper, car bomb, garbage compactor, fire, a single large rock, multiple smaller rocks, open windows, closed windows and some force… The list goes on and on
Update:
- drum of boiling water
- large cat exhibit at the zoo
- thrown from a highway bridge
- snake pit
- drowning in a cesspool
- explosive butt plug
- fire ant
- flying with Tom Hanks in a movie
A bit exotic perhaps, but strapped to a rocket and hurled at a building.
I choose butt plug, what do I win!?
To be fair, there is someone who 100% deserves to be shot
If you’ve never thought about shooting someone, then on what basis can you even say that shooting someone is wrong?
just one?
call me when you find out how many have lists.

Why wouldn’t it?

Ooh and the question specifically mentions “someone else.” By the time I scrolled down enough, I forgot about that.
Anyway I have both considered offing myself, and on a night where a dude scared me on a dark street I wished I had a gun. I guess that’s not the same as wanting to shoot him. I just wanted to have something that would make him as scared of me as I was of him. I just wanted to be left alone.
That counts as a yes
I don’t know how you could be older than 12 and not wanted to shoot someone ever.
I can honestly say I’ve never wanted to shoot, stab, or otherwise graciously injure someone. I’ve gotten into some fistfights when emotions have gotten out of hand, but this is maybe why its important that everyone is not running around with a way to blast holes in people.
Hand me a loaded gun and put me in a room with Putin, and i’ll not even blink when i shoot him.
just give me some nukes and a gas chamber and I will not blink while annihilating the entire Israel!
Good point
The president of the free world is a child rapist.
So, some people may not trust others that insist upon this answer.
That’s way lower than expected and I suspect it is just because they didn’t want to be on record.
Yep, what a load of bollocks, the only thing this study is useful for is why would you do this.
Survey: how many people are willing to be edgy on a survey?
People answer surveys as their ideal self not honestly. So yea most people, considering the constant virtue signaling about how non violent they are (lol to be proud of non violence while a pedophile rules you is a definitely a moral choice), are going to answer these surveys saying they are non violent.
They are the most violent among us and they always have justification.
Only 7%? 🤔
The text of the question seems to be “I have thought about shooting another person or multiple people” and 7% responded “Strongly agree/agree/somewhat agree.” Looking at the 160 page pdf questionnaire, I’m guessing most respondents deduced the correct answer and didn’t want to cast aspersions on any of their other habits.
That’s how many are willing to admit it to a pollster, which is a subset of who thought about it. We don’t know how big the larger set is.
Which is a subset who would talk to a pollster in the first place
Yes there is also the subset of people who’ve thought about it, and might tell a pollster, but avoid pollsters if at all possible.
The other 93% have shot someone.
Without thinking about it first, it seems.
That way it’s a crime of passion 🤓
Have you like seen any movies played any video games like what?
