Could the school shootings have anything to do with access to guns? Nah... It's pornography - of course.
Could school shootings have anything to do with a complete lack of parental involvement, no sense of community and a complete inability to deal with any real challenge? The gun is just the tool that was handy at the moment.

Pornography has little if anything to do with school shootings but a lot to do with sewers having a high sperm count.

I do think Mr.Jeff Beauregard Sessions would be inclined to agree.

If porn was the cause, most of the shooters would be using 2 hands on their weapons.

I’m sure there’s some basic republican science behind this. It’s either porn or Jesus fell off his dinosaur and that caused it.

Marijuana? I don't have anything against it specifically, but you can be close to 100% positive that every heroin and meth user started with pot first.

And pot users started with caffeine.

If you go to the original piece in HuffPo...

Beyond naughty movies, Black said school shootings are on the rise because of the “deterioration of the family,” mental illness and violent movies.
Bolded. One parent families are a problem.

How something that is so basic to human nature (sex) became so taboo, I'll never understand.

Watching some people have sex has never, ever, driven me to a feeling of violence.

This country is so backwards sometimes.

so true. my thoughts go to shooting sports with a gun, but not a firearm, and not violence.

Truth. Porn has created single, lonely, loser males and those are the ones who shoot up schools. But the fapstronauts will deny it!
