Hollywood Wins Best

NEO @ PJMEDIA: WITH MASS MURDERS, MANY OFTEN COME FROM IN-TACT FAMILIES

OVER DECADES, Hollywood has taken every prize in promoting violence of all kinds as a primary way to solve problems and interpersonal conflicts and become notorious. Is it any wonder we've come to where we are today? What's wrong in America is not guns, and never will be. It's the glamorizing of violence over decades of time in movies, television, video games and music----accessible to our children 24-7-365---that's staring us down the barrel. Add to that high-tech weapons mixed often with anti-depressants and high-tech drugs of all kinds and we have a much more complicated and entrenched violent culture with no quick or easy answers.

 President Obama and his congressional cronies continue to point fingers at the NRA, GOP as if it's all their fault and passing a few laws will solve the problem. What a joke. No matter what we do at this point, it won't stop  random shootings and violence.  It's too embedded in the culture and cutting it out by curtailing Second Amendment rights would do more damage than good to our Republic.  

Never in the history of this country has viewer discretion, parental discretion with our children, and ourselves been more desperately needed in all  sectors of  culture. I mean who wants to pay for their kids to go see Madonna with a narcissistic machine gun bra?  Nothing could be more boring or ridiculous to an adult, but to an impressionable kid it's a vastly different story.

For the record,  I have no problem in restricting semi-automatic and assault weapons in the general population.  However now there's  a huge black market for them,  like drugs, that transactions will go underground but are not ever going to dry up.  Better drug and mental health testing and screening might help curb some of this.
