NRA Newtown response: National program to place armed security in schools

LaPierre in part blamed mass shootings on "vicious, violent video games" such as "Bulletstorm," "Grand Theft Auto," Mortal Kombat" and "Splatterhouse." He also reached back in time to place blame on movies like "American Psycho" and "Natural Born Killers" for portraying "life as a joke and murder as a way of life."​

He went on to say that congress should put armed officers in every school in America. Who'd a thunk that a lobby for gun manufacturing comes up with the solution that we need to sell more guns? What a shocker.

Anywhoo... I find it interesting that he chose to put a stupidity rift on this issue between his lobbying for the gun manufacturing industry and the video game, movie and music industries. He made it appear as "Guns? it's not gu.... LOOK OVER THERE!"

Re: NRA Newtown response

Typical liberals.

It's not the glorified graphic violence in Hollywood, the celebrated violence in rap music, the kill-somebody-every-second video games, the overly sympathetic judicial system, or the unlimited coverage and repetition provided by the media.

It's just the guns.

FYI, mass murders happened more frequently 1,000 years ago, when there was no such thing as a gun.
 
Re: NRA Newtown response

Yeah, PUSH those profits by forcing the government to use MORE tax payer dollars to buy our guns. We already spend MORE in Homeland Security to arm the police than we have been in defense to arm the military.

Look, it's the semi-automatic, automatic weapons in the hands of psychos and children who are psychos from parents teaching them that are the problem. We need MORE regulations on who gets to buy a gun. The gun lobby wants you to look away from their sales and at video game sales.
 
Re: NRA Newtown response

NRA typical ****. Its everyone's fault except the weapons they uphold. Apparently we need to buy more guns! Who woulda thought the NRA advocate that position!? I also thought it was quite hilarious that hardly any Republicans went on record about the shooting in relations to guns until after the NRA came out with this statement, we can see whos in the NRA's pockets.

Fortunately, we don't need the NRA or anyone else to tell us that violence begets violence. Yes. Violence in video games desensitizes young uncooked minds. There is no question in my mind. Do all young people who play these games by the hour/day/week/year turn into killers? Of course not. Just as all people who have access to guns don't become mass murderers.

You forgot to mention one of the games: Kindergarten Killers. It's been around for ten year. Cute, huh?

Kindergarten Killers.jpg

The game is a crude, point-and-click target shooter depicting a janitor gone on a shotgun rampage inside a school. Angry cartoon children fire back with firearms of their own, and their wounds spurt blood until they are shot dead.

Or perhaps you'd like to play: Super Columbine Massacre?

Put these games together with movies like Hostel's I, II and III, sicko porn-violence movies of a similiar ilk available on our cable tv stations, and you've got an ample buffet on which sick minds can feed.

We are a sick society.

We can put armed guards in most courthouses in the United States. Limited access at most every police station in the country. Yet we think protecting our children is polishing a turd.

No stupidity is blaming the NRA for the deaths of 27 innocent lives.

Disgusting is using 27 innocent lives to push your political agenda.

You libs never cease to amaze me at the depths of depravity and souless leaching you'll do to get your political point across.

Parents are burrying their kids today. Would you care if you couldn't make some political hay with that ?

Doubt it.

As you drift further and further to the right, the world appears smaller and smaller in your rear view mirror. The myopia of the right and the NRA is laughable. You're embarrassing yourselves.
 
Re: NRA Newtown response

The best way to stop an armed nutjob on a mass murder spree is for an armed citizen to shoot his ass.

Period.


Come up with something better if you want to criticize.


Hint: gun-restrictions schemes won't work.

Re: NRA Newtown response

People who reject the idea what kids see or hear doesn't affect them astonish me. If the media didn't affect them do you think toy and clothes manufacturers would advertise their products? I don't.

Hey Maggie... you don't think Canada and the rest of the world get those games? So how do you explain that? Look at my signature...

Japan has the same video games and probably even more prolific video game indsutry than ours. So... How many shooting deaths in Japan last year?
 
Re: NRA Newtown response

And there's plenty of places that have almost no video games and for that matter no electricity, and few guns per capita, who kill each other at a far far greater rate than we do.


It is:
Cultural
Economic
Faction/Tribe/Gang
and drug trade based...

it isn't video games, movies, music or guns.

More guns near children is the answer. Brilliant. Don't forget the metal detectors too!

Yee haaa...the wild wild west is BACK!!!!

Are you just venting or did you actually expect someone to attempt a retort against all that whiney politicized hyperbolistic garbage?
 
Re: NRA Newtown response

It's abundantly clear that no one actually want's to talk about gun violence.

Many of us have higher ideals that returning to the mass murder rate of 1,000 years ago.

2006 Japan had 2 gun homicides. This also indicates that it is quite possible gun control can work.

So you are convinced that the media has no influence over people?

So much for that personal responsibility thing.

"The media" only affects people to the extent they let them.

Nobody said that, so why did you conclude that?

Funny how when something bad happens, conservatives blame the society at large, or the government, or anyone but themselves. But a success? Had to be personal, rugged individuality! Couldn't possibly have had any help from anybody.
