For those who would advocate
stricter gun laws and challenge the second amendment I have a proposal. Let’s first abandon the protections of the 1st
amendment and outlaw every movie, TV show, book, video game, song, internet
event, and article of clothing that has a gun or depicts the use of a gun. If you are serious about changing the culture
of violence, then why not start with the people who make their livings glorifying
it?
So what if so many of their
profits of violent expression go to fund the democratic campaigns, if we are
serious about changing the culture than just making more gun laws isn’t going
to do a darn thing, just look at NYC, LA, DC, and Chicago. Cities with among the strictest laws and
largest rates of gun violence.
Where is the outrage over Die Hard 1,2, and 3, the
Terminator, Robocop, Batman, Superman, Fury, most Rap songs, not to mention all
the violence in video games. According
to Procon.org “Violent video games have been blamed for school
shootings, increases in bullying, and violence towards women. Critics argue
that these games desensitize players to violence, reward players for simulating
violence, and teach children that violence is an acceptable way to resolve
conflicts.”
Why is it okay to allow this $21.5-billion-dollar
industry to go with only minor wrist slaps when US gun manufacturers get
hammered in the press and by democratic politicians on a daily basis? By the way, maybe they are paying for these
politicians to slam them because over the past 6 years we have seen gun sales
soar from 3.9 million weapons/year to over 10.8 million in 2013. I think it would be fair to say the President
has done more to spur a sagging gun industry than any other
president since Franklin Roosevelt.
Since it seems most liberal college students don’t
like the First Amendment anyway, let's start there as we abandon our protections to change America. Maybe Michael Moore can do a docudrama on it
or something.
