Definitely, that's why I said control and not condition or influence.
Tbh it downrigh scares me how easily ordinary humans can get accustomed to killings, at least according to soldier's diaries & testimonials.
Not unaffected by any means, often coming away with severe disorders, but that usually doesn't affect them in the act

It is scary. Before I went on to study law, I studied history at university. One of the things we studied was the level of violence in society. You see that, even though we might think it's the opposite, it's been a pretty linear decline throughout the last few centuries. I can't help but think that's part of why shellshock was suddeny a thing during WWI. Maybe people were just used to huge amounts of violence in earlier times.

Or the other guy has a gun, but only ends up using it "in self defence" once you come running at him with a gun yourself.
It generally just escalates the situation to a level it doesn't have to be.

That is actually one of the biggest arguments against gun ownership imo. It usually does not improve an already difficult situation with everyone involved being on edge. The only scenario when it does is if someone is really going to shoot you and you shoot him first.
