Blame Hollywood for the violence they "feed" to our children.  They glorify thugs, guns, drugs and careless sex.  Do not blame responsible gun owners.  There will always be nuts AND criminals who can get guns (legal or illegal).  Personally I'm sick of seeing Obama on the TV talking about this horrible tragedy. He didn't give this much time to the murders of the Americans overseas.  The mulitimillionaire actors in Hollywood do not care about VALUES or PRINCIPLES, they don't care what message they are conveying to our children.  Blame Hollywood NOT the responsible gun owners.  Without guns in this country (and Obama wants this obviously) we would have a DICTATOR.  Funny that this Administration didn't have a problem pushing guns into Mexico "Fast and Furious"!!!!!

We have to blame someone.  America today.  Nobody takes any responsibility.  Blame Obama, Bush, anyone in an leadership position.  I'm so tired of that mentality.  Be a leader yourself, a parent, a good person.  Is that so hard? 4951

You won't get an argument from me that Hollywood pumps out the CRAP. They just do. But someone wants to watch it or they wouldn't do it. Don't watch it and don't encourage your kids to. Ted is NOT a kid's movie....common sense. Films with graphic sex and violence are not for kids, so don't take your 12 YO to them b/c you think it won't make a difference.That aside. There are lots of people doing the right thing in what they let their children see and participate in. Some kids should have much stricter peremeters. Those who are mentally ill need special attention, period. Even then, they can snap. This last kid never had one criminal offense or trouble in his background. We need to keep in mind this is like a dozen people who have gone off the deep end. It's a mental health issue and a parental one. But even then, things can go very wrong with anyone who is mentally ill. 4951

@doddlebug: The primary caretaker of every child is his/her parents, then the extended family, neighborhood, and community.  If Hollywood made people kill, we'd see mass shootings every day, at every school.  And if you have to blame somebody, blame the psycho killer's race, or religion, or parents, or family, or friends, or childhood--something a lot closer to the killer than "Hollywood."We all watch Hollywood.  Most of us are not mass murderers.  As you said, there will always be nuts and criminals who get guns... so what's the point of blaming anyone BUT those nuts and criminals?

Hahhaha. This post made me laugh. I love it. Kingwood always takes crazy up a notch.This is the one issue that I think the conservatives are most-right on: it's the only issue where they, even if only by chance, have figured out what the problem is not. Too bad their ideology doesn't provide for the solution. The problem isn't guns. It's poverty and a lack of accessible healthcare. 4951

@EvanCarroll: your correct on this one! It's also a question of priorities, because we all know it's much better to send our hard earned tax dollars overseas than to take care of our own>>>>See Muslim Brotherhood<<<<<<

@mardigrasman: I have no idea what the Muslim Brotherhood has to do with this. However, I'm anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, and generally speaking an all around noninterventionist. On principle, I reject the concept of Capitalist nations spending money outside of their borders: they historically end up as short term financial investments with a volatility that manifests in dead children.
And, far more dead children then the body count of domestic violent deaths. 4951

@EvanCarroll: it was in reference to the fact that instead of spending and sending tax dollars overseas to groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, maybe that money could be better spent here on folks that have issues such as Mental Illness ....JMO!
