We have all seen fictional depictions of thousands of deaths by gun.

For the young Americans, they are often unable to separate the conditions of fantasy shooting and real shooting. Some years ago, a news reporter interviewed ten young men on death row, asking each of them the same question,"what were you thinking during the moments you were shooting your victims?" They all gave very similar answers along the lines of "it was like a movie", "as though I was an actor", or "It didn't seem real."

All of those responses that clearly showed the disconnect between fantasy shooting and real shooting.
