When someone gets involved with guns and gangs at an early age, it can change the way that person thinks. Earlier this summer, reporter Rob Wildeboer talked to a man who said that shooting became “like a drug” for him, and spent decades chasing the high he felt the first time he shot a gun. Neurobiologist Peggy Mason and comedian Aaron Freeman are co-hosts of the podcast “Brain Buddies,” and they were interested in what was going on inside of that shooter’s brain. They talk about the underlying neuroscience of what happens when you shoot someone, what it means to call shooting an “addiction,” and why understanding neurobiology can help us begin to address Chicago’s gun violence. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
