pezz, I believe that movies may be a contributing factor, and that guns can be the weapon of choice, but do not believe that either is the root cause of such violent, murderous outbursts. Please consider that bombs(the choice of Ted Kisinski), knives (Jack the ripper), automobiles, and various and sundry, blunt objects have quite often been the weapons of choice. IMO, the root cause of these crimes lies far deeper than the weapons used, or violence depicted in movies. I do, however, believe that violent portrayals in movies, regardless of the rating system, should be curtailed. The old oaters show the good guys shooting the bad guys but, no gore was shown, and the violence was not glorified. TD |
