This Gun-Nut has had enough.

119. The problem is.....

That is exactly what the hardcore right-wingers want us to think(yes, it's true), that violent video games and R-rated movies are the problem, and not the fact that the Reagan administration gutted our mental health facilities and that the gun-nuts lobbies have tried to make it so anyone, anywhere, can have any kind of weapon, for any reason, etc.(they used to blame rock-and-roll for all kinds of stuff, too.)

In fact, not only is it true that 99% of violent video game players never, ever, commit any crimes using that as inspiration(except for the truly deranged, such as the VT shooter.), but the overall youth crime rate has actually gone DOWN over the past 20 years or so. And I seriously doubt that's coincidental, either.

If you want to worry about violent media at all, worry it getting into the hands of the very young, or deranged individuals or children who were abused(mainly physically) and/or neglected and are starting to show signs of serious aggression(unfortunately, it is indeed true that the large majority of both groups who never receive any real help or support, do end up in prison at some point.). Otherwise, we Democrats really ought to stray away from RW talking points....and blaming violent media is one of them.
