I hope there's something to limit ex-military from stockpiling firearms.
Seems like every time there's a mass shooting by someone over 35, turns
out he's a vet.

Where did you hear or read that? Simply not true.

Interesting discussion on "Morning Joe" this morning about violence on
TV, in movies and in video games. All the media focus is on the NRA
lobbying for gun manufacturers yet many of the vocal supporters (usually
Hollywood liberals) of more gun controls are the same ones acting in,
producing, marketing and profiting by some of the most horrifically
violent shows, movies and video games ever made, many targeted at young
viewers.


Is there some quality, independent evidence that proves that violent
movies, TV shows, and video games *cause* acts of violence in the real
world. I know that from time to time such media is pointed out as the
cause, but where is the proof? The Connecticut shooter, I understand,
played violent media games, but he seemed to be suffering from mental
illnesses. Media doesn't cause mental illness.
