"There are three things you need in order to shoot and kill effectively and efficiently," retired military psychologist David Grossman writes. "The gun, the skill, and the will." In the military, guns are issued to soldiers; in recent decades, the skill and the will to kill has come from video simulators designed to desensitize soldiers to killing through repetition, and to condition soldiers to fire as a stimulus-response not a deliberative act. These same simulators are now in our homes and arcades teaching the children of Paducah, Columbine, and the rest of the nation to kill, argues Grossman.

 

The name of the guy I was talking about is David Grossman, military expert on the psychology of killing.

 

This is a start, but I am still searching...this has to do with the school shootings here.
