The guns were not at fault but the attitudes and ideas about the use of these tools (ie guns) has been promoted by the sickos in hollywood and the game sellers. I doubt that the parents put the ideas in their heads and certainly they are in no position to erase ideas that don’t know exist.

The parents not knowing of the ideas in their child's mind is the parent's fault. Not the gun's, not the gaming industry, and not hollyweird's.

Consider this; your child is in contacts with peers, TV, and video games for a dozen hours a day while parents maybe have 1-2 hours contact at best.

And that is the parent's fault as well. Some parents should put their children's futures ahead of their own.

Believe it or not, there are a growing number of very young kids who have impressed the hell out of me with their, "I don't need to see that kind of stuff," attitude that they get bombarded with. THEIR parents should be commended.
JMHO

You must be young or you would realize the difference between kids raised in the 50s and those raised in the contemporary world and the massive amount of negative influence the new media has on kids today. Parents spend as much, or more, time today with kids then they did in the 50s. It is sad to see that some will blame parents for issues which they have no control over. I see the teachers’ union constantly blaming parents for the failure of professional educators and much of the public buys this idiotic notion. Parents play an important role, don’t get me wrong, but the outside influences from media and gaming and teachers unions have a dominant impact once the child spends most of his waking hours outside the home.
