Mass shooting in California

Well those things are fun, like gambling. There's excitement or expectation of winning.

With guns, it's like BANG! BANG! BANG! And there's excitement and feeling being in control and power.

I've felt a rush playing videos games (FPS Kill Shot Bravo) and gambling but never shooting. Shooting is more about precision...and not shooting myself. LOL

A firearm is a tool. I feel no more about it than having a machete (I have a few) or my lawn tractor.

Indeed.

First, just because Tucker constantly whines about it doesn't mean it isn't being reported. Anyone sane and smart enough to use Google can find a link such as this one: https://abc7news.com/oakland-school...t-sojourner-truth-independent-study/12277784/
'He's a hero': Parent describes security guard among 6 shot at Oakland school campus
"Although unarmed, still brave, and had the courage to protect children today," said the parent.


Second, no one died. That said, I know all the Memory Care patients may have missed that there was a hurricane in Florida killing several people. That's taken over the news for now.

Lastly, I've never seen any RWNJ Trumpian Dick Sucker (TDS) ever admit wrong doing by saying "it's not on the news" when the facts prove, it's all over the news. My guess is that their anchor chains no longer touch bottom and they drift between reality and fantasy.

You wouldn’t feel a drug rush, it would be adrenaline. Training leads to less of a rush, it’s why you don’t feel it, but try to remember the first time you fired a gun. I remember how I felt.

It's not adrenaline, it's dopamine.

It's the same chemicals that get released when you shoot up heroin or smoke crack.

I know what an adrenaline rush feels like. Maybe when I was a kid shooting for the first time, but I don't recollect it. Adrenaline causes you to shake. It throws off the aim and/or can result in jerking the trigger.

If you've ever trained to shoot then you know it's about steadiness and breating.

Exactly...it's not adrenaline, it's dopamine.

They used people using first person shooter games where there's a chance of being "killed".

VIDEO GAMES release dopamine, not just violent ones.

You can't blame video games for violence because no one is driving around hurling turtle shells at other cars on the freeway.

How does dopamine affect adrenaline?


The adrenal glands produce adrenaline by transforming the amino acid tyrosine into dopamine. Oxygenation of dopamine yields noradrenaline, which is converted into adrenaline. Adrenaline binds to receptors on the heart, arteries, pancreas, liver, muscles and fatty tissue.Sep 14, 2017

She also said "guns are basically a drug and that using them releases the same chemicals in your brain that heroin does"

I've never fired a gun and felt like I was on heroin.

Have you ever been on heroin?

What I said was that it releases the same chemicals (dopamine) in your brain that heroin does...which is completely true.

The neuroscience of addiction is the same regardless of the behavior or substance. The brain doesn’t care if it’s porn addiction, shopping addiction, cigarette addiction, video game addiction or whatever you like, including gun addiction. Here’s how it works: Dopamine is the brain’s neurotransmitter that is released when you expect a reward – when you expect pleasure. The brain is flooded with dopamine when a shooter prepares to fire a gun. Firing a gun releases endorphins – the pleasure hormones – the same ones we experience with sex, with taking certain substances, and with other enjoyable activities. Since the pleasure (BANG! and endorphins) follows the anticipation so quickly and reliably, the brain easily learns to connect the psychological loop: guns – dopamine – pleasure/endorphins. Some brains then become preoccupied with seeking more dopamine. More guns.

Earl, the real goal of the NRA is to create markets for gun sellers and gun manufactures.
