When James Holmes shot up the movie theater with a semi-automatic, the Left tries to curtail access to firearms and gun owners start crying "Git yur hands offa mah See-kund Ammendment!" When it is pointed out that the shooter was dressed up as the homicidal antagonist from the very movie franchise whose sequel he was shooting up, the liberals are all like "Geet yer hands off mah Furst Ammeend-ment!" Let’s face it; this isn’t about preventing violence, is it?

Guns are the largest problem, true. But the belief that insecure little boys aren't affected by media violence while Barbie Dolls and Disney movies are driving girls towards eating disorders and body image issues is ludicrous. I'm no more impressed by the "responsible" consumer of gratuitous violence than I am by a "responsible" gun owner. Put a 5% tax on video games and movies with mature ratings and put the money towards mental health care.
