How does "The Psychological Effects of Naturalizing Violence in Television" affect us all.

One really interesting fact is;
"By the time a person in the United States is eighteen years of age, they will have been exposed to nearly 200,000 acts of violence in the media, most of which do not demonstrate negative consequences afterward. Increased exposure to gun violence on-screen can lead to a higher likelihood of guns being abused, and used to harm oneself or other individuals"

What do you guys think of this Article?

This is an article addressing "A Proactive Approach to Saving Lives" the talented writer Pamela Guerrero speaks about the 20th anniversary of the high school shooting in Columbine, Colorado. She speaks about the debate that is still going on today about how "Gun-related deaths have become a rapidly spreading epidemic in the U.S. that is often met with failed reactionary tactics.
