Considering the source (NPR) I'm willing to bet some kind of leftist agenda is at work.
The 15-point proposal includes most of the legislation that is already being discussed in Congress. It also suggests addressing the “glorification of violence seen and heard though our movie screens, television shows, music and video games,” an issue that has seen minimal attention as Congress begins to weigh mental health and gun legislation.
“Congress should fund scientific research on the relationship between popular culture and gun violence, while ensuring that parents have access to the information they need to make informed decisions about what their families watch, listen to, and play,” the report recommends.

No far from it. I'm no troll... but I'll do my best not to take offense by the comment. You don't know me but I assure you there is no hidden agenda here. Someone simply asking a question shouldn't be automatically labeled.
The most common thing I've heard from anti-gun people is that "The 2nd amendment was written at a different time and they had no idea the kind of guns or security we have now." Ok, yeah probably not but they were saying it's a fundamental right regardless. I'm pretty sure the rest of the Bill of Rights was written at the same time but they never use that as an argument against free speech. Funny isn't it?
:sarcastic:
It looks like three more attempts to try to demonize the National Rifle Association.
Thanks, I appreciate your consideration. Not much going around these days.Ok... Point taken and I withdraw my troll comment.
I don't believe that video games causes violent behavior directly (I grew up on them too) but I have seen video games make bad parenting and bad tendencies worse. Like everything else, some people are capable of handling it and some people are not and it's not up to a beurocrat to make that call.
Thanks for you attempt at defending me but I am fully aware of what goes on here. In fact I have been guilty of the very thing you point out. With less than 10 posts to your name I am not sure you really should speak about the validity of this forum and its members. Me with less than 100 post I am not even comfortable with drawing any conclusions. That being said the troll comment was taken back so let's move on and remain on topic. Thanks.I'll be the "troll" then and point out that your very well reasoned attempt at a logical conversation is completely in the wrong forum. I'm a gun lover that's pretty disgusted with this place.. take a look around.. any sort of discussion with any logic or reason just leads to a pile of people jumping in saying, "you are taking my rights", or "you are a troll, you don't even own guns". blah blah blah.. bunch of nitwits that have no concept of logic or reasonable gentlemanly discussion. Welcome back to grade school.

I have to wonder if you even know who David Codrea (jfisch's first link in his OP) is first of all. Hint: He broke the story of Fast & Furious and is responsible for exposing the story to every single person who has ever heard of it. You can verify that for yourself by reading his voluminous original research on it in these links:

If you didn't know who Codrea was before you claimed that the link was intended to "demonize" the N R A, I suggest you read it again with an eye to understanding that Codrea is one of the most well-read, well-spoken advocates for 2nd Amendment rights anywhere in this country. Is he "anti-N R A?" I don't even know to tell you the truth. I know without a doubt though, that the article you claimed was nothing more than an attempt to "demonize" the N R A is anything but. You really should read it again and try this time to understand what you're reading.
