True
2) “There exists in this country
a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people.
true
3) “[V]iolent crime is increasing again for the first time in 19 years!
Add another hurricane, terrorist attack or some other natural or man-made disaster, and you’ve got a recipe for a national nightmare of violence and victimization.”
True
4) “We need to have
every single school in America immediately deploy a protection program proven to work —and by that I mean armed security.”
Maybe. There's not suddenly a huge risk because it happened somewhere. It would help however. We do it in airports.
5) “
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Would you rather have your 911 call bring a good guy with a gun from a mile away … or a minute away?”
Good point, very true.
6) “And throughout it all, too many in our national media … their corporate owners … and their stockholders …
act as silent enablers, if not complicit co-conspirators.”
Very true. They delve into every aspect of the killer's psyche, what he ate, what his brother wears... the killer becomes a cult figure.
7) “Then there’s the blood-soaked slasher films like ‘American Psycho’ and ‘Natural Born Killers’ that are aired like propaganda loops on Splatterdays and every day, and
a thousand music videos that portray life as a joke and murder as a way of life.”
True. The 1st Amendment needs to be revisited.
8) “In a race to the bottom,
media conglomerates compete with one another to shock, violate and offend every standard of civilized society by bringing an ever-more-toxic mix of reckless behavior and criminal cruelty into our homes — every minute of every day of every month of every year.”
True, but there's an on/off button. They do have to accept some responsibility. Pretending they offer news when most of their material is about who's ing whom, or the gory details of some killing somewhere in the world.
9) “Through vicious, violent video games with names like Bulletstorm, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse. And here’s one: it’s called Kindergarten Killers. It’s been online for 10 years.
How come my research department could find it and all of yours either couldn’t or didn’t want anyone to know you had found it?”
I've said the exact same on this forum.
10) “Isn’t fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really
the filthiest form of pornography?”
It's fun though.
The NRA didn't kill anyone and they didn't put a gun into the hands of that 20 year old man. If the NRA had their way, there would have been a security guard, armed, at that school.
I am not a member of the NRA. I don't disagree with the statements you quoted. The fact you do is a testament to how intellectually dishonest you are, and what a piece of rancid your takes are on this forum.
