I'm grew-up in the '60's and watched all the shoot-em-up Westerns , war movies, even those "violent" cartoons, haven't turned into a serial killer.....Yet.

Another worthless, agenda-driven "study" that only proves that there are too many studies.

We’re keeping an eye on you, mister. Of course, I watch the Outdoor Channel and Hickok 45 on YouTube myself.

I’m from the same era as you are. Do you know how many toy guns I had? My father had a gun belt, holster (with my initials on it) and chaps made in Okinawa during one of his many tours there.

ha!
Firearms skills, including some competitive sports like target shooting and skeet.... used to be standard at many schools. Sometimes, depending on location of course, they’d even have a hunting club. This enabled young people to learn about firearms, self-family-community defense, and safety.

I think this useful skills training, along with some other useful skills training classes that got dumped out of most high schools like driving training (have you seen how dangerous some so-called adults are on the roads today?), home ec, and shop classes. The kids who graduate HS today (excepting for perhaps the top 10 percent, and them only academics) have zero useful skills or learning

I watched the same thing you did and I have not turned into a serial killer either. They wasted their time on this useless drivel.

Agree 100% The 'experts' concluded (non sequitur), and with no scientific/critical thinking; what they had been hired to produce. Study Studies 101

This article is very educational. I’ll now make sure to load my nephews up with westerns and other action flicks so they can really become comfortable with firearms. Wouldn’t want them to grow up to become SJW pussies.

Too many experts getting government grants to do studies that support whatever the government wants.

I grew up in the 30s and 40s-——————war movie guns and western movie guns and cop guns.

All we did was “shoot” each other.

And somehow great granddad and grandad survived all those Loony Tune cartoons when they were kids. And didn’t wear bike helmets either.

I don't let my kids watch movies with guns; I'd want them to get popcorn butter on their firearms.

After the movie clips, researchers recorded children playing for 20 minutes in a room with a cabinet full of toys, including a drawer that contained a disabled .38-caliber handgun equipped with a sensor to count trigger pulls.

Stupid Study Draws Wrong Conclusions!

What they proved is that if adults treat guns like toys children will get the idea that guns are toys.

Another fraudulent “study”. No mention was made about the sex of the children that picked up the guns...I’d bet that almost all, if not all, were boys (remember how Odysseus found out Achilles disguised as a girl hiding in a harem by noting that only one girl was attracted to the table displaying weapons).

The ONLY way to protect children from misusing firearms is by educating them about what firearms are and how to safely handle them. Had all of my progeny, when they got to be about 10 years old, or so, prep, hold firmly, brace, and pull the trigger on a 12 Ga. shotgun. NONE OF THEM EVER THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SOME SORT OF TOY AFTER THAT. NOTHING LIKE TV, OR THE MOVIES!
All have trained in the use of firearms, all are proficient, all are armed, and not one of them has shot anyone, nor (Thank G-D) ever experienced the need to.
Another poppycock study that is only good for spreading around the rose garden.

This nonsense began with the murder of Bobby Kennedy in 1968. Tv shows dumbed down, violent scenes were butchered from movies on TV, toy guns took a hit.

Only the theater movies got a “Pass” with their joke of a ratings system. They then added more blood, guns and sex to obtain the then (1969) “R” rating.

As for smoking, drinking, and other things in Movies...It is called “Product Placement” advertising paid for by the cigarette and liquor makers.

I had NRA hunter safety in gym class two years in a row in high school. You remember the NRA, the group organized and thought black people to to use guns in self defense and taught gun safety and such. Fewer people were killed by this program and all the westerns combined than on a weekend in Chicago.
