A young person's obsession with video games that teach to kill.Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, who in his perennial bestseller On Killing revealed that most of us are not \"natural born killers\" - and who has spent decades training soldiers, police, and others who keep us secure to overcome the intrinsic human resistance to harming others and to use firearms responsibly when necessary - turns a laser focus on the threat posed to our society by violent video games.Drawing on crime statistics, cutting-edge social research, and scientific studies of the teenage brain, Col. Grossman shows how video games that depict antisocial, misanthropic, casually savage behavior can warp the mind - with potentially deadly results. His book will become the focus of a new national conversation about video games and the epidemic of mass murders that they have unleashed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534472675616,"sku":"NEW0316265934","price":22.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/416uu8C_0BL.jpg?v=1777361548","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/assassination-generation-video-games-aggression-and-the-psychology-of-killing-0316265934","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
