comments, ephemera, speculation, etc. (protected political speech and personal opinion) 2021- 2021-05-27 b IF YOU WANT GUN CONTROL, USE BOTH HANDS I Where did Freud say, "A fear of weapons
is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional
maturity."?
 This is not a
statement that appears in any translation of any of
Freud's works. It is a paraphrase of a statement
from the essay "Guns, Murders, and
the Constitution" (February 1990) by
Don
B. Kates, Jr. where Kates summarizes his views
of passages in Dreams in Folklore (1958) by Freud
and David E. Oppenheim, while disputing statements
by Emmanuel Tanay in "Neurotic Attachment to Guns"
in a 1976 edition of The Fifty Minute Hour: A Collection of
True Psychoanalytic Tales (1955) by Robert
Mitchell Lindner:Dr. Tanay is perhaps
unaware of — in any event, he does not cite —
other passages more relevant to his argument. In
these other passages Freud associates retarded
sexual and emotional development not with gun
ownership, but with fear and loathing of
weapons. The probative importance that ought to
be attached to the views of Freud is, of course,
a matter of opinion. The point here is only that
those views provide no support for the penis
theory of gun ownership.
Due to misreading of this essay and its citations, this paraphrase of an opinion about Freud's ideas has been wrongly attributed to Freud himself, and specifically to his 10th Lecture "Symbolism in Dreams" in General Introduction to Psychoanalysis on some internet forum pages: alt.quotations, uk.politics.guns, talk.politics.guns, can.talk.guns , etc. One of the statements by Freud which Kates summarized from in Dreams in Folklore (1958), p. 33, reads: "The representation
of the penis as a weapon, cutting knife, dagger
etc., is familiar to us from the anxiety dreams
of abstinent women in particular and also lies
at the root of numerous phobias in neurotic
people."
