No. They tend to hide behind someone else or pass the buck. The demand
"personal responsibility" from others but as soon as they are caught with
their fingers in the fudge they blame someone else.


Right-wing... left-wing... as if there are no left-wing fruitcakes.


Oh there are but the difference being that with leftwingers the fruitcakes
are the exception wheras the right wingers are evil and sociopathic.

Do we need changes
in the way we both honor the constitution and honor our personal
responsibility in
the issue of firearms?


Yes. Don't give guns to right wingers,

But it would be beneficial if we started
teaching our children that violence is real and not an imaginary video
game.
Perhaps it might have actually prevented this macabre slaughter of
innocent
children.
See --http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/adam-lanza-a-head-fu...

The murderer of those children just happened to be a 20-year-old video
game
addict, which did not help his personality disorder, yet that is pushed
under the
rug by those who see only the gun and never the murderer as the real
problem.

Notice that I seem to be the only one even mentioning that video game
violence
is dangerous to our youth. Yet while giving them possession of firearms
is obviously
illegal, it is deemed as "sensible" to allow them to express an outlet
for violence
with video games such as --

10 -- Original Carmageddon
9 -- Soldier of Fortune
8 -- God of War II
7 -- Gears of War II
6 -- Mortal Kombat!
5 -- Thrill Kill (Armed with syringes, cattle prods, severed limbs, and
more, players
simply beat the **** out of one another with grotesque, fetishistic
and/or sexual
maneuvers, always with the result of too many blood splatters to count)
4 -- Mad World (victims being splattered against the wall after being
skewered on
a lamppost. Or disposing of victims in a meat grinder)
3 -- Manhunt (Players sneak around in a 3-D environment and commit
heinous acts
of murder as part of sadistic practices such as decapitation,
steel-object-to-the-brain
impaling and even jamming a sickle up an unsuspecting victim's ass)
2 -- Grand Theft Auto III (the most sought after granddaddy of ultra
violent gaming,
including barbecuing prostitutes with flamethrowers. Total death, blood
and mayhem)
1 -- Postal 2 (drop-kicking grenades and chopping up those who refuse to
cooperate
in the plot behind the story. Including using cat carcasses as silencers
on their gun,
teaching children that there is nothing wrong with killing cats and dogs
and pets,
which is well-known to be the common-denominator among serial killers).
***
Those are only the top 10, in an arena filled with a vast quantity of
different violent video
games that glorify killing. But you insist they are not a problem.
