Showing Original Post only (View all)Hollywood?? WTF? [View all]
Yeah I know right wing talking points but come on it is violent movies and video games that caused this???? Bull poop! Morning Joe was just spewing this crap. While most of his Sandy Hook talk was heart felt I got mad when he lists the cause.
First is Hollywood, then mental health then the nra and guns. At least he includes the nra and guns but seriously? IMHO the order of cause of the problem is more this order. The NRA and Guns, Poor Mental Health Access, The 24 Cycle News Media (Mostly Faux Noise), Hollywood/entertainment industry.

I don't subscribe to your ranking of the main causes. Violent entertainment is a huge problem.
