***‘Have Gun Will Travel’ and ‘Combat!’ Just terrible stuff....***

When John Kennedy was shot the media blamed TV violence, movie violence and comic books.
Nothing was done except to call for the registration of guns.

When Bobby Kennedy was shot, the media blamed TV violence, Movie violence and comic books.

TV shows immediatly dumbed down. Adult westerns became kiddie shows. Some comic books changed their format for a short while, and movie makers said they would “police themselves” and placed a joke of a rating system to keep kids out of certain movies.
As a result, movies simply became more violent and more sexual oriented.

They also passed that travesty the 1968 Gun Control Act into law.
Today, TV shows and movies and comic books are more violent and sexually oriented than ever.

Agreed. The ‘68 GCA was the worst piece of knee jerk crap ever run through by our ‘leaders’. Didn’t make a squat of diff then or now. Never will either. You can’t legislate against a hard heart and it has always been so.
