America loves gun porn

It happened one degree at a time, but like the frog in that famous experiment, we are boiling in a pot of gun porn.

Take one step back, pretend you're an alien and watch prime time television or almost any blockbuster movie. Unless it's a comedy, it's all shooting all the time. How can that not desensitize us to the horrendous, violent toll real-life bullets take on our country and the world?

And video games? They're training the drone pilots of the future. But even with a lifetime of shootem-ups under their belt, some of the cubical warriors flying missions from desks in California suffer from PTSD when they go home for dinner. Reaper by day, soccer Dad by night, while the rest of us shop.

Why is that OK?
