The vast majority of murders in the U.S. are committed using guns. But what leads one person to shoot another? The \"conventional wisdom\" says gun violence is usually the act of calculated criminals or people acting out of desperate economic circumstances. But economist Jens Ludwig believes the conventional wisdom is wrong.
