We also need to restrict violence and murder in the movies and video games. It desensitizes young people to violence. The movies and TV used to show violence used for self defense. Now it’s ok for revenge. It is also portrayed as explicitly as possible. Movies seem to compete to shock the audience as much as possible and people stand in line for it.

Video games are non stop killing and some young people play them hour after hour day after day.

Stop trying to put all the blame on guns and gun owners and look at the violent society being produced.
Well, there is that pesky First Amendment. I don't want to preach imposing restrictions on one of the Bill of Rights on one hand and preach no restrictions simultaneously on another.
What I had in mind is controlling what movies children see and what video games they play.

What really steams me is they were posting antigun and anti-gun-owner comments (some totally off the wall) and would not post my comments.

Judging by the fact there were no pro 2nd comments at that time it appears they may be screening comments that don’t follow their way of thinking.
