And never will, the goal of dem and libs is not to keep our children safe, but to take away freedom.

Call of Duty
Gears of War
Medal of Honor
Halo

The most popular games in the nation are free-for-all shoot em ups.

The Walking Dead
Transformers
GI Joe
Dexter
Many anime titles

Some of the most popular movies and TV shows are full of violence and gun use.

And dont get started on graphic novels, 90% of which are riddled with violent imagery.

So how about we institute a clampdown on the 1st amendment for Hollywood? Seems fair. Kids today seem to see violent death as entertainment. Shouldn’t Hollywood “give up” some of those freedoms to “save” them?

I’m old enough to remember when life meant something in this
country. Now,it’s become disposable.

I have a nagging question I heard on Denver talk radio after Columbine: “Why do things like this happen just after a UN anti gun push?”

I see the moral decay when SKULLS are a major decoration and a popular toy (even Christmas decoration) is of a fictional character that killed small children in a school: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in STAR WARS III

There are all kinds of things young children should not be exposed to because of immaturity and pshycological stability. Religion is looked down upon by the masses but exposing young kids to violent movies, homosexuality and violent video games seems to be the new norm. Almost like it was all planned to create millions of young Manchurian candidates.

“Rampage Shootings: It’s the Moral Decay of Society, not Guns”

Absolutely corerct; however, the Democrats can’t be seen to address the moral decay of society, since they have a vested interest in that decay of society.

Indeed, the active effort to generate that very decay incorporates several key planks of their party’s platform.

Much easier to deflect blame from themselves for a society rotten at its core and attack firearms.

The worst part of it all is that the Republicans let them get away with it.

Quentin Tarantino can produce a two hour gorefest, receive critical acclaim and be held entirely unaccountable for violence in society. Sarah Palin need only use the word ‘target’ in some campaign literature and she becomes a Moriarty-like criminal mastermind.

Bad morals in school had nothing to do with this loon who devised a way to pay a ghastly visit to a school.

I view this as an unashamed neanderthal. There ought to have been somebody there, and preferably lots of somebodies there, who were able and willing to do the common sense thing when this loon began to attack, and make his first shot his last one. That public safety issue being taken care of, then it’s possible to worry after the fact about how a loon managed to get into the school. And nobody would be blaming the weapons.

Life is not “special” to the LIBs. Given their lust for abortion and that the LIBs (aka communists) killed over 100,000,000 individual;s in the 20th century, I guess life is nothing to them. They are guilty they are alive, have tremendous guilt about that and therefore self-loathing, but are too weak to kill themselves. Oh, what a world we live in.

Children are being taught that they are not responsible for their failures. If things arent right as they approach their adult years it is the actions of their parents, teachers, siblings and society in general, never their fault. Liberalism personified. Counselors want to know about their childhood past instead of their present and future. What is wrong with, “sounds like you had some tough times, but that was then, this is now”?

Rat policies, irresponsible parenting and the media have brought us here
1 Schools encouraging meds for unruley children starting in early grades thru high school
2 mentally ill school age children and young adults being forced into normal environments by law as part of thier rehabilitation compounding the Isolation 3 mentally ill walking amongst us responsible for thier own care in taking thier meds daily.
4 If you know your child has issues why do you have guns in the house? 5 Hollywood, the media and its hypocritical class spew violence non stop across the movie, tv and video screens to many who are numb to the violence and walk the fence between reality and make believe. If guns were not avaialable would his thoughts of mass murder be stopped? Hand guns were used but the media and the political cretans cry out for assualt gun bans. The bottom line the liberals will not accept partial blame either will Hollywood. Being the parent of an adult leaves not much control in this area so security measures much like they have in government buildings need to be implemented.

I doubt skulls influenced this loon, however.
