Ha! Got them scared with this one, eh?
I'm all for it. There just might be some DNA link. These angry young Jewish kids like Lanza, the two Columbine shooters, and the Arizona Gabrielle Giffords shooter must have some hidden link. Maybe there really is some crazy shooter gene.

I think in the future it will be more like those who have the gene are segregated from those who don't.
Slippery indeed.
Whatever happened to crazy?

Looking for a genetic link in mass murderers considering the absolutely minuscule sample size would be for all intents and purposes, impossible. We also have that age old argument of "Nature versus Nurture." For example, let's take two individuals who have a propensity for violence that can be identified genetically. One was raised in a dysfunctional (I'll leave the definition of "dysfunctional" up to the reader) family environment and is now in prison for attacking someone outside a bar. The other was raised in a functional, supportive environment and is a successful Doctor. Yet they share the same genetic "marker" for violence (this "marker" is pure conjecture BTW).

I don't think any of that would happen. It is a HUGE leap to go from scientific research to eugenics.
