I've not really stated anywhere that I thought guns should be removed, in fact, the opposite. While it may be logical that there is a connection between watching violence and partaking of violence, it does not necessarily follow that the two are causally related. Look to other countries that imbibe of the same (violent) media but don't have the same level of violence. Bottom line, any connection they can make between videogame violence and the Sandy Hook shootings will be extremely tenuous, at the very best. |
That's true, but at the same time these other countries don't have the social stresses that the states have (I'm not knowledgeable enough to name or explain them, but I know they're there). These are in part due to a breakdown of better values, but are also fed by the material those other countries are also imbibing of. I'm not so sure it's a good mix.
