Hysterical Weapons Acquisition Syndrome

Much of the violence plaguing the U.S. — from needless police violence and domestic abuse to mass shootings — results from a widespread but undiagnosed psychological malady among men who don’t feel like real men unless they’re armed.

I should stress from the outset that this is at core a psychological malady, not a physical deficiency. Not every man who feels incomplete without a gun has a tiny penis. The fact that they feel inadequate is what matters.

Oddly, white supremacists and nazis advertise that they have the least satisfied mates of all. By far the most widespread insult epithet in alt-right forums and racist internet comments is “cuck”. It’s short for cuckold, the husband of an adulteress. So, they can barely insult strangers online without revealing they live in open, obsessive fear that a white man’s wife or girlfriend, if they have one, would much rather be screwing a gentle jew or black buck than pretending to enjoy sex with them. While online we can’t see whether they abuse their wives like so many Hysterical Weapons Acquisition sufferers and mass shooting planners, their fears and mindset provide a clear warning.

Amid their peers at rallies, they shriek openly of their fears, chanting “You will not replace us! Jews will not replace us!” in unison — so on-the-nose, Freud would double over laughing and pen new papers on ethno-sexual inadequacy.

Of course, armed hysterics are particularly terrified of black men, and often feel threatened by black people in general.

Dangerously, these men are most attracted to law enforcement and military jobs, among the few vocations where they can carry weapons and feel like real men all day. And they don’t have to be afraid to fire them.

They don’t hesitate to tell a grand jury that they figuratively crapped their pants or wet themselves when encountering an unarmed black driver, a black jaywalker, a black grandmother in her home, a black child with a toy, a black man buying a rifle at Walmart, a black man running away from them after a traffic stop or getting into his car with his children.

They love that the Rules of Engagement in their job encourage them to immediately fire and empty their beloved weapon to kill whoever frightened them, with impunity. While their testimony of exaggerated fear would seem on its face to be a confession of cowardice and incompetence mandating immediate termination, it is actually the essential ingredient allowing the grand jury to dismiss charges of murder so they can continue on the job. Spousal abuse, sexual assault and abuse of weapons among police and military have reached epidemic proportions.

This mental disease has spread with help from the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment — originally designed to ensure state slave patrols could pursue, inventory and capture slaves in states where that was legal.

Today that amendment is viewed very differently: as a symbol of the independent, potentially rebellious patriot. In the hands of the National Rifle Association it becomes the manly rallying cry of insecure white men and white supremacists — a swaggering facade for the Hysterical Weapons Acquisition sufferers self-help community. Men like George Zimmerman have clinical hysteria; the NRA profits from it and helps make it socially acceptable even as he becomes homicidal.

Through the hysteria diagnosis and improved self-esteem in the affected men, we aim to achieve an effect that has been hard to achieve through legislation.

#HystericalWeaponsAcquisition: so-called gun enthusiasts and Second Amendment activists must be publicly called out as insecure hysterics who desperately need guns despite their proven dangers to the public.

Hysterical Weapons Acquisition sufferers should receive the pity and compassion they deserve, but they should be treated as dangerously unstable, monitored for spousal abuse, denied access to deadly weapons however possible, barred from law enforcement and military jobs, and scorned by healthy adults and children.

It should be widely understood that the more guns you need and the more avidly you demand them, the smaller your penis is, the more selfish you are, the less empathic and attractive you are as a partner, and the more insecure and inadequate you are as a man.
