Washington (CNN)Republican Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee recently cited pornography, along with the deterioration of the family and violent movies, as a contributing factor to gun violence in schools.
Black made the remarks during a listening session with local pastors last week, according to audio obtained by HuffPost and posted Tuesday.
“Why do we see kids being so violent? What’s out there? What makes them do that?” Black said. “Because, as a nurse, I go back to root cause. And I think it’s a couple things,” Black said, listing off deterioration of the family and violent movies, before mentioning pornography.
really it is not gun loop holes… or parents locking up their guns… or issues with mental health… it’s porn… wow just wow
“Pornography. It’s available. It’s available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there’s pornography there,” Black says in the audio. “All of this is available without parental guidance.”
Just what kind of grocery stores do they have in Tennessee?
Now this is just dumb.So tired of these excuses.
First it was the music, then TV, then Video Games, now it’s porn.
Once again, the UK, Japan, and other places are listening, watching and playing the same stuff we are and still not having these types of issues as us. I laugh when folks blame video games, hell the Japanese play way more than we do and I don’t remember one of them walking up in a school and commit a mass shooting.
Watching porn will have you doing some weird stuff and shooting people in mass isn’t one of them. Shooting up the club yes, shooting up people…nope. LOL!
AS much porn people watch, If this were true, it would be genocide. LOL!
Funny how the party of personal responsibility can blame porn, video games, doors, and all sorts of other excuses yet cannot lay blame at the one thing that’s common to all these shootings: easy access to guns.
Everywhere else has doors, porn, and video games, and way fewer shootings.
And in addition, to adopt a favorite conservative theme: where are the parents when these Tennessee children are walking into grocery stores and getting access to porn? Why are we willing to rely on a corrupt and incompetent government to protect them from this sort of thing?
Grocery store Grandpa? Why don’t you tell us how a responsible parent can shield their kid from porn today, when any kid on the bus has it on his phone to show them?
really it is not gun loop holes… or parents locking up their guns… or issues with mental health… it’s porn… wow just wow
It appears you want to blame that for the rise in school shootings, so the obvious question is, when did parents stop locking up their guns and when did the gun show loophole come about? Before or after that rise? Oh and as a side note, how many school shooters bought their guns at gun shows from a private individual without a background check? Thanks in advance for your answers.
this is great!
