^ aren't you missing the rage factor? I don't pretend to know anything about it in detail, but pure rage surely changes the whole chemical balance in the brain, testosterone surely goes sky high, and whatever else happens physiologically?
I'm actually a nice guy (despite my posts here lol), but I'm going to admit something here - if I had access to a gun, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind I'd have shot at least 1 person before now. I've mellowed a fuck of a lot, so also feel quite truthful in saying it wouldn't happen now - I don't get the intense rage I used to experience, but yeah. When you are in that moment, where for whatever reason you are overcome with rage (was the classic fight or flight scenarios for me), you aren't in your rational mind, and that category of wrong (as you so rightly put it) doesn't exist at that moment(s).
So, 10 years ago, because I had the capacity for extreme actions, I'd have been deemed by those who will want to wield this sort of power at some point in the future because they want everything to be rosy, as worthy of culling (to use an obviously extreme example), yet here I am now, father to a couple of wonderful kids, a pretty good dad going by the great relationship I have with them, a helpful, caring, friendly member of society, and with fuck all 'help' from any cunt in gov't.
You can't tick boxes and have them cover all bases, and why the fuck should they even be there for the current 'greater good means these checkboxes work' way of thinking.
