When most of us were growing up we went to see Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies where the good guys always won and instead of shooting and killing the bad guys Roy and Gene shot their gun out of their hand and "wounded " the bad guys. We had cap guns and pretended to be Roy and Gene. I think you already know where I am going with this----movies today have so much violence and killing that most are not acceptable for children to see. Television the same. However, kids get access to video games that are actually worse. Finally, I remember in the western movies of the so called wild west when a marshal or sheriff was hired to "clean up the town" the first law was to give up your gun when you entered the town limits. As you know, we have in recent years gone down the slippery slope of concealed weapons. Instead of taking guns away we are encouraging everybody to arm themselves. Wow! I wonder who is going to "clean up" things now?
