Despite our media, it isn't part of our shared culture to go out shoot someone in revenge. Things like murder and generational feuds are taboo. And we're too individualistic to do things like make the ultimate self-sacrifice in pursuit of justice.

We are also very far removed from nature and death. Most of us fear death and do everything to avoid it. Few of us have any experience in killing.

It's easy to get a gun and kill someone in broad daylight. But you have to be really motivated to overcome all that I mentioned and accept the consequences.
