DALLAS, TX—Deep in the bowls of the Kate Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas, America’s most famous professor of “killology” delivered his first sales pitch of the NRA Convention.

Dave Grossman is a former US Army Ranger who for the past 20 years has devoted himself to training military and law enforcement personnel on the reality of killing and combat. His book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society is required reading for FBI Cadets, and he regularly travels the country training law enforcement officers.

But in his three-hour seminar on Friday, called Sheepdogs! The Bulletproof Mind for the Armed Citizen, Grossman didn’t focus on examining the psychology behind killing. Instead, he painted an apocalyptic vision of the threats facing America, sounding like an anguished preacher in front of crowd that was mostly male, mostly middle-aged and almost completely white.

Grossman weaved together mass shootings from all over the world to support his thesis that violent media, and specifically violent video games, were creating a generation of killers.
