I recall not long after what happened in Sandy Hook that a meme came out (one of my favourite pro gun ones) that had the caption “Semi auto rifles have been available for more than 100 years”, with images of vintage gun ads. Then at the bottom it said “What has changed”, with images of the “Hollywood” sign and screencaps from graphic and violent movies and video games.
I’ve tried finding that meme far and wide since then and have not been able to see it. This article makes me think of it.

Sorry, but there’s still the disconnect. Even ~100 yrs. ago, you had the news hawking about Bonnie & Clyde, even further bad Billy ‘the Kid’, etc.
Ask any ‘gamer’ or child, and they’ll tell you outright “This is a GAME.” Physics alone will tell anyone this ISN’T the ‘real world’.
Violence has always been the human condition (same as oppression and even slavery). But the culture, the CULTURE.....there’s the $1M question.
Over-grown govt that families require BOTH to work to survive. Taxes @ 50%+. The ‘ideal’ of the 50’s, so far out of reach to the typical Citizen as to be *RICH*.
The one variable: G-O-V-T.
