It makes me very uncomfortable that the NRA has so much control over some government leaders. It's like they have to get permission from the NRA. I'm assuming it has to do with money.

Just look at the cartoons that we grew up with in the 50s and 60s. They were violent and no one blamed them for violence. I'm tired of video games being the culprit now.
