Isnt it a bit hypocritcal?

To ban guns, but not the hundreds of video games that glorify violence or television and movies that show people getting killed in gory detail? You have set up a culture that teaches that not only is life cheap, but killing is fun! Violence isn't just tolerated it is encouraged! Then when someone who has a hard time telling the fantasy from reality goes on a killing spree you blame the gun. Why isn't there a call to get the violence out of the games and off the screen? You really shouldn't fear the gun but the generation of nut jobs who are being raised with no concept of right or wrong. Maybe the answer isn't keeping guns out of their hands, but removing the influences that create them in the first place?

    *sigh* I'm so tired of hearing this argument. Anyone past the age of reason knows the difference between fantasy and reality. Video games do not cause violence. If anything, they mitigate it by providing a socially acceptable outlet. By your logic, we should ban cars because a few people use them irresponsibly and kill other people.

    Uh, Dude, those ARE workers of the freaking STATE. They artwork on the exhilaration of the folk of the state who employs them. they are PUBLIC SERVANTS. The governor and the legislature make judgements correct to employment of state workers on behalf of the folk of the state. The freaking state isn't a private business enterprise. it extremely is the subject with you libs, you do no longer make the hassle to think of in the previous your react. Now tell me what the hell is hypocritical approximately that?

    Leftists are the masters of hypocrisy. "Oh, I am so appalled that 20 little kids were killed with guns...hang on a minute, my abortion doctor is calling..."
