I totally disagree. That is unless your saying years of the Rifleman, John Wayne movies, Gunsmoke and the like also contributed. Part of the problem is the availability of information. Any bit of information good or bad but mostly bad gets put out on the internet and is easily obtainable. Before the Internet bad things would happen and we may or may not hear about it. You might read about it in the news paper if you got it. You also might have watched the evening news but most people probably did not. Everyone is one the internet though. I think things seem worse than they are in some ways and maybe in some ways things are worse but I definitely think the availability of bad information inflates things..
