Study links past abuse and gene to violent acts.
Apparently, people with healthy levels of a certain enzyme linked to a gene on the X chromosome, can experience violence without becoming violent in turn, while it is those with low levels of the enzyme who later commit violent acts. There is more info, HERE.
And speaking of violence, Greyfox has been at this keyboard again. ArmsMerchant’s latest blog is about crime and punishment in the good ol’ USA.

That must be me…..I never get violent.
