Health Week II

To follow up on the Health Week post from a few days back which noted that gun owners were happier than non-owners, today's Wall St. Journal features a letter to the editor that may just hit the nail quite squarely.

Gun Data Off Target

Arthur C. Brooks ("Trigger Happy," op-ed, April 19) points out that research shows people with guns at home are happier than demographic peers who don't own guns. He suggests the former are more self-reliant and charitable, both of which correlate with happiness. An alternative explanation: The non-owners are unhappier, probably because their spouses won't let them have guns at home.
