Because there was no violent behavior before movies right?

The batman series provides a good benefit actually. It shows perseverance against overwhelming odds. It shows that just one man with no super powers of any kind can be a hero. It demonstrates that heroism is about sacrifice and responsibility and that sometimes even those with pure motivations can be misunderstood. It also shows that no matter what we do, how much we sacrifice, how hard we try, we can still fail but that true heroism is about getting back up and trying again after we have failed.

But if you aren't into it that's cool with me. Just don't play liberal games with the 1st amendment.

I'm not "playing" any "liberal games". I'm just pointing out that liberal attacks on the 2nd amendment aren't based on some desire to solve the problems of violent behavior, since if that were truly the motivation then people such as Mayor Bloomberg would also be proposing solutions that infringed on, for example, the 1st amendment, or maybe the 4th amendment.

In other words, if their motivation was simply to prevent crimes like the one that just happened in Colorado they would be suggesting that the content of movies be limited to protect society. But we don't see the knee jerk suggestion to censor movies whenever some lunatic acts out in response to a movie.

My real point is that statist liberals always exploit any tragedy to attack the 2nd amendment, but curiously don't propose solutions that trample on the 1st amendment. I'm not suggesting that they should, just commenting on what they actually do.
