    Of course not, but the problem is that this is totally out of control and many see violent games and guns as something normal.

    Gun control is not and will never be the solution to America's people problem. If someone wants to kill someone bad enough, they will find a way to do it. A gun just maes it easier. Just like a car is better than using your feet, a gun is better than using your hands to fight. Should we ban cars because some people consume alcohol and use them to injure or kill others? Nope.

    The media and the government are conceited they want to regulate the guns. I think that more bad guys would get their hands on guns that are fulling automatic without a Class 3 license. Besides even with the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting the ignorance was just having those guns accessible for a mental person to grab. Leave our guns alone and focus on getting rid of bad guys not the good guys.

    Wow, leave our guns alone? That's the culture, that's the mentality, but a good guy easily turns into a bad guy with a gun on his hands.

    So would you say that one good first step (the proverbial "drop in the bucket" scenario but at least a start) would be to not allow the manufacture of those games? No one could really say "NOOOO, that takes away our rights!" when the same people are trying to do that very thing by messing with our 2nd amendment rights which is basically exactly the same?

    They'd scream "censorship!" while from the other side of their face, they are trying to to remove the right to bear arms. What think, Gelsemium... take away the violent games and movies?

    I think that the problem is not violent games and movies, the problem is guns and wars, games and movies just reflect what the society lives and while we live with guns and wars that will never go away.

    That's right, making guns illegal won't stop murders and muggings from happening, because those are already illegal!
    That means people who commit them aren't too concerned about laws, so getting an illegal gun is the least of their problems.

    Preaching to the choir, man. No amount of new laws will stop those who are already breaking laws.

    Well put, its unfortunate these ills in the society will continue as we look on because they are way beyond us...if we could only get to the real root of the problem and pluck it out, my, what a relief.

    You are going to have psychos who do not know how to handle a weapon. Besides you cannot contain all the weapons that is here and all over. I do not believe anyone can control taking all the weapons from the American citizens. I mean look at California they had an assault rifle ban and that did not work. I mean I do feel sorry for the victims but there is no way we can have a complete gun control.
