As for the video games, there are plenty of men in my life and my family who play first-person shooters and RPGs and games rated M. And you know what? I know these men well enough to know that they'll take a bullet for me. If a shooting were to happen and they were around, they'd wrestle that person to the ground.
You have no clue what you're talking about. Kids didn't go out in droves and hound their parents to buy them violent books and violent movies were nothing like they are today. Those same kids would camp out at the local electronics store so they could get the newest shooter game. Anyway, done with you and this thread. Adios.

Oh movies back then were way more violent. Bonnie and Clyde. The Godfather. Red Dawn. Die Hard.
Have you looked at any movies from the 1920s? They're more graphic and violent than a lot of mainstream stuff today. And by the way, there's a difference between gun violence in movies and shooting guns in movies.

Are they? Bonnie and Clyde's ending is one of the most violent I've ever seen. If that scene were in Kill Bill, they'd put it in black and white like they did with half the movie.
Again, watch more movies from the 1920s, if you can find them. And don't give me that excuse of "They didn't know what was acceptable yet!"
Tons of nudity, graphic violence, porn, smoking, drinking, all that stuff.

No one's going to watch bonnie n clyde or the godfather or any other movie and be inspired to do a mass shooting. The thing with video games is that it's the player that is doing the shooting and he/she gets addicted to racking up thier score and honing their shooting skills AND they play it when they want release from stress, etc.. It makes them feel good. That is the connection between shooter games and mass shooters.
Then why did these two kids in the 1970s read this book by Stephen King about a kid holding his class hostage, and then do the same thing? By the way, after those incidents, King put that book out of print. You know why? He knew it was inspiring people.
People can be inspired by anything violent to do violent things themselves. Don't blame it all on video games. If anything, the past was even more violent than it is now. Look at Prohibition Era America. Look up the Valentine's Day massacre. Ah, the good old days. When racism was at its peak and gangsters were killing each other over illegal alcohol.

Ok so you know everything and I don't even though I've lived here in the US all my life and remember when mass shootings became frequent. You obviously have something to prove and have no real desire for understanding and I've been stupid enough to play along. Well I'm done. You can continue your self-righteous, arrogant little game with someone else.
