There seems to be no level to which some politicians won’t stoop for publicity.

WTF??? Never MIND this is even more UNConstitutional than the current abuse of Executive Privilege….never MIND accountability and responsibility….Could we PLEASE just agree to blame something else??? Like Justin Bieber, or ‘lil Wayne, or IDK ~ how about addressing the underlying problem ~ Healthcare and Insurance. Believe me, the socialist system that is obamacare does not work….so blame those Progressives, who over the years, have taken out and not put back.

Ever since Columbine, videogames get blamed.

I’ve played the exact same games…does that make me a killer? Nope…because my parents taught me real vs fantasy and right vs wrong. Stop blaming the media or videogames and teach/talk to your kids.

Higher levels of violence obviously demand a more-expensive cause…

Even liberal Democrats such as Hillary Clinton come down on the wrong side of this one sometimes.

Even when freedom of speech and the press do not apply (and they almost always do), there’s a very simple test of principle that defines this issue for me, and it is NOT “does it edify the reader/viewer”? I guess you could say that when it comes to the Second Amendment, information is my weapon of choice.

Screw off Jay, go jump into a spike-ridged cavern and post it live for YouTube viewers to see. That will make us happy.
