>I realise that it's just a pipe-dream, but it would require a wholesale change in cultural attitude. It's not easy, but it can happen. There was a time when games didn't have ratings on them, but enough people became vocal enough about it that now they do. Little steps one at a time. Bottom line is that people have to want the changes. As long as people are satisfied with the status quo, as it appears that so many gun owners are, then little will ever change.

Yes, the ratings are on the games... If I want to buy a violent video game, I should be able to. If an 8 year old kid gets his hands on a violent video game, it's the parents' fault, and only their fault.
