It doesn't really strike a chord with me on the attacks on games and guns(The arguments are always there and so long as we have mouths to speak an opinion will be formed) what actually bothers me more is the shareholders viewpoint:
"One of the shareholders asked Bezos for specific steps, pointing out that parents cannot always control what their children are doing. "I think that you hold some responsibility for this.""
Why is parenting shifting regulations to corporations where the bottom line is capitalism, is it really such a good idea to trust corporations like say hostess to tell your kid hey I think you have eaten too many of our cookies; or should we continue to allow our clouded judgement of unfettered access to the internet to be a good thing for children... I remember the arguments about too much TV for children when I was growing up and the introduction of the v-chip to help regulate the content consumed by us, question is why aren't parents using it when most technologies have parental controls... oh and in-case they want to argue they don't know how you might take a lesson from your 5 year old utilizing YouTube to learn his/her around the internet and gaming.
On another point for those arguing that these psycho paths don't just wake up one day and do this... what about Vlad the Impaler, Gacy, Hitler, The uni-bomber, and the vast amount of others that have existed through-out history. I assure that this type of violent insurgency existed without mediums of entertainment to warp and twist their "innocent" little minds.
