Letter: Video games are not the problem

No, guns kill people but they kill people because of our decaying society. Video games contribute, poverty caused by government redistribution from one group to another contributes as they add dependents, a poor economy like the last 5 years contributes, progressives playing the class warfare and envy card contributes, the decay of morality and secular humanism taking precedent with people having faith in nothing bigger than the man sitting in the White House, a society that closes state hospitals and turns thousands of patients in to the street in the name of ACLU patient rights contributes, big government restricting freedom and liberty contributes. Many things contribute and a fraction of a percentage of that is due to people who own guns. Progressives believe in a simplistic approach, take away guns and there will be no more gun crime. The issue is that the criminals will not register guns and if they know where to find them, they will get them. I guess the question begs whether or not this is about incidents like Newtown or is it that progressives fear an armed citizenry which could stop them should they go too far. My guess is the latter.
