The daily training of society to accept/embrace/approve violence is proven day in and day out.
Just look at the movie line up on Netflix or Amazon and others.....mostly violence based "entertainment" and more often than not utilizing guns in one form or another.
There is no control anymore who is allowed to watch what or not. Young children are growing up conditioned to seeing murder and mayhem in their games and movies. Beheading, disemboweling, rampaging killing are all in front of our society every single day.
Human behavior has been changed by these events. Tolerances for murder and mayhem are acceptable "entertainment". There is nothing left to the imagination anymore.
If it bleeds it leads is more true today than ever before. To say it has no effect on the attitudes, outlook and behavior of our society is missing the major contributor to what is now acceptable in our lives.
