It is notable that the U.S. culture creates the globe's majority of mass media and direct-injects (some would call brainwashes) violent video games, Hollywood movies, T.V. shows, and "gangster" style music imagery and lyrics directly into hormone-bathed American teen-aged brains.

However, no one is taking Blizzard Entertainment, MGM, or Sony to task for these mass casualty incidents. I wonder why the focus is on the darling of the right, the hated item of the left - the firearm?

Here's the list:

Timeline of Worldwide School and Mass Shootings

Nobody is going after firearms that are used for hunting or home defense unless you believe some Entertainers on television. It was Eisenhower (I liked Ike) who was quoted “I dislike those on the far right and left who throw rocks at those of us in the middle.”
