It's not the Guns It's the Movies.

 I think everyone misses the point where they speak about gun control. As if fewer guns less violence when we know that is just not the case.  Our problem is not guns, but what people do with them.
I think it would be more useful to look at two other items that are causing the motivation  One' is mental problems that are increasing with the everyday pressures of modern life, the disintegration of the family and the increased use of drugs with mental illness.
 Two is the media, movies television and violent video games. The glorification of weapons and guns comes from the film and television. In ordinary life, the motivation to use guns is about domestic uses hunting and sports.
 We know that the media has tremendous power to motivate people's actions. Hundreds of thousands of companies spend billions of dollars every year influencing people's behavior with the media. To deny that is ludacris.
 So with the thousands hour of the glorification of gory murder and Mayhem is it any wonder that some unbalanced Minds go over the edge.
 This young man dressed in black military/police gear, carrying a black plastic AR15.
 What was the motivation for him to wear that getup To dress end all black battle gear and scream "Die M........er F...........kers."
 Seems to me to be a very similar line in many movies:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b15qxrLJ7aM
Every time we are approached about reducing guns lets talk about a PG-18 on all gun violence movies. Let's see what Hollywood will say when they have some skin in the game.
