Should violent video-games, music, and graphic movies be outlawed?

Do you really want to live in an oppressive Bloomberg style Nanny State.

No because that's just ridiculous.

Violent video-games are sold world wide.

So is music.

Movies are screened in theatres all over the world and sold on DVD and Blu-ray as well.

But you don't see everyone else running amok with guns shooting up schools, malls and movie theatres every other week like in the US.

So clearly video games, music and movies are not the problem.

The problem isn't people having easy access to guns in the US either.

There's millions upon millions of guns on this planet and they're not all in US homes.

The problem is health care.

The USA is the only modern nation without universal healthcare.

And if you look into it, those countries all have barely any shooting sprees compared to the US.

When people get the mental health care they need, it reduces the frequency of mass shootings.

We can blame the media for a small portion of it. What I see is reclusive socially inept people looking at the nightly news. Some of these people might see glory in the fame they could gain by killing large masses of people. By showing more and more coverage of the shootings, they are just bringing such murderers closer and closer to the spotlight.

EDIT: I think we SHOULD ban all that crap. Some of the very people who are saying no today would have died from shock back in the early days of television had they seen what we have today. If you want to be a conservative that means conserving the values of yesteryear.

I don't believe the answer is to ban anything - movies, music, video games or even guns. Somehow we need for parents to take responsibility for raising their children. In almost all of the cases where young people were involved in these mass killings, the parents or family have said there were warning signs that this could happen. The parents simply did nothing to avoid the situation either because they didn't want to admit their child had problems or the didn't want their child to face social stigmas. The problem is too many children are running their households. Children want these video games or music and the parents are either buying them or allowing them to have them without knowing what is in them. The children are not monitored. Too often we hear of kids who spend 8 hours or more a day playing video games. What is expected from these children?

Violent video games come from each and every united states that makes video games ( some countries purely censor extra then others ). using violent video games as a source of violence interior united statesa. is that of the scapegoat. The wondering is for politicians is " Why blame registered electorate for undesirable parenting once we've were given video games accountable ". that is not any longer purely the politicians it is also those who've little information of any new leisure medium it handed off with books , comic books , television , videos , music and now that is going on with video games. one among those issue occurs in cycles once a sparkling leisure medium pops up they're going to overlook about the present scapegoat.

If we did that, we should ban everything. Guns, gasoline, chemicals, drugs, baseball bats, computers. There are too many factors to these tragedies.

I blame our violent culture and our state of mental healthcare. We blame guns, yet the media glorifies them in video games and movies. Meanwhile, we have used these tools to form our nation these past few centuries, with mass murders only occurring within the past 50 years.

Our state of mental healthcare is this... Got some stress or issues? You can either ignore it (them go postal after suppressing it for years) or go out and get prescribed meds (then go postal once your brain is re-wired).

It's the natural-born right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against criminals and government tyrants with firearms.

No.
