[quote:Anonymous Coward 3960495:MV8yMDg0MjY2XzM1MDk1MTc2Xzg2MTFBQTA2] [quote:Éireann:MV8yMDg0MjY2XzM1MDk0NTMwX0I0QUIwNThF] Nope. Can't believe it. Here's why. Before there was all of this kid on kid crime, the parent was removed from the home and from being able to discipline the child. This is where it started. No guidance, no rules, no oversight of the child's morality from parents, or the community. The Government raises our children these days. Except for the few, like you, Koffee, who understand the role of good parenting. [/quote] Totally agree. In our society, kids need the two adult arrangement or a REALLY dedicated single parent who is willing to play both the man and woman (or two adult) role. It takes two to create a child so to me, it just makes natural sense that the child would inherently be looking for both of his human creators during his/her upbringing. [/quote]
Original Message
Violent video games and a "culture of violence" found in the media could be contributing factors to mass shootings, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said Sunday.
"There might well be some direct connection between people who have some mental instability and when they go over the edge - they transport themselves, they become part of one of those video games," Hickenlooper said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Perhaps that's why all these assault weapons are used."
The Democratic governor argued that some gun regulations need to be tweaked but said more immediate changes can take place by targeting mental health.
