    Studies have long shown that gun violence in PG-13 movies has been rising, sometimes exceeding what is shown in popular R-rated filmshttps://nyti.ms/2wSqwVQ

        I've been watching horror films since I was a wee thing. Funny, I haven't murdered so much as a single human being in all my years! I even release bugs back outside instead of squishing them! It's amazing! How did I ever not turn into a psychopath?!

        I have a several close family members who were born addicted and were pretty much abandoned by their mother. Neither of them have a tendency to violence in the least. Lead poisoning does, I can tell you that w certainty. But you're mostly drawing false equivalencies

        Exposure to violent media is one of SEVERAL risk factors that can lead to aggressive behavior in SOME children. The response lies in the brain of the beholder.

        While you’re resurrecting this 1990s GOP/NRA talking point, don’t forget Grand Theft Auto and Marilyn Manson.

        PG-15, so kids can't watch movies that show them the guns their classmates are killing them with.

        The rest of the World watches these movies also ... but do not have anything like the US number of gun related deaths ... blaming Hollywood is not the answer ...

        I’ve been watching action movies and playing first person shooters since I was 5. I come from a gun enthusiast family and was in contact with weapons for as long as I can remember. Neither I or my family ever killed anyone. “Guns in movies make people violent” is a BS argument.
