Tennessee lawmaker says pornography is a 'root cause' of school shootings

Ditto the internet, where they can find like minded individuals who either egg them on or agree with them that they should do it.

i named 3 instances where kids can go buy a gunā€¦ so please spare me the crapā€¦ the last one the kid took his Dadā€™s 38 and shotty and killed kidsā€¦ which i DID mention in the Opā€¦ again you chose to address me instead of this lady with the Martha Stewart haircut and her porno claimā€¦

That too of course.

Kids could buy guns long before school shootings became an epidemic. Kids could steal their parents guns long before. There are fewer not more households with guns in them now than before it started. Try again.

Oh and to pick nits, you listed one place they could potentially buy them, not three.

Kids could also get dads porn collection to look at so porn clearly isnā€™t the cause.

you are just typing words with no real directionsā€¦ so you just want to argue for the sake of arguingā€¦ ok letā€™s go what is on your mind?

Thatā€™s just a poor excuse for lazy parenting. Stop looking to government to raise your children.

Hey, thatā€™s fun!

And further, not one school shooting I am aware of as committed with a gun bought at a gun show from a private seller with no background check, so that was a fail.

Kids used to carry them to school and leave in their trucks so they could hunt after school. No problems.

So what has changed? Hmmmmm

Are you seriously trying to equate sneaking a look at your dads playboy with whatā€™s available to kids on the internet today?

and how would you knowā€¦ you think the private seller would come forward and say ā€œyeah i sold that kid a gunā€ please stop and address the Lawmakerā€™s claim

No, itā€™s only lazy if there is something you can do to prevent short of locking your kid up at home 24/7, there isnā€™t. I asked you to tell me how it could be done and all I got was crickets.

lol, yeah itā€™s not like law enforcement investigates where the weapon came from or anythingā€¦

so you believe Porn is the reason why there are so many school shootings?

It may be a factor sure, internet porn is a pretty broad category, itā€™s not all sweet consenting lovemaking, some of it is brutal, violent and disturbing. Itā€™s also dehumanizing and treats people like objects. Exposing kids to that very may well lead to some bad outcomes.

Yes but not the kind of shooting implied by this lawmaker :joy:

And unlike blaming it on guns, it at least has it being relatively recent going for it. Guns have always been around, internet porn for kids is a fairly recent development.

Dumb asses running America because many voters are even bigger dumb asses.

so let me get this straightā€¦ internet porn is a factor in school shootings in Americaā€¦ while the rest of the world has access to PornoHub and not one school shooting in letā€™s say Japan
