The NRA Blames Video Games For School Shootings. Sigh

scapegoatThe NRA just wasted its chance at redemption and used its highly anticipated press conference to shift the blame to video games, and insinuate about a conspiracy to downplay the role of violent media. "There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people," cried NRA Vice President, Wayne LaPierre, in a fear-stoking extended rant against the media. The news media sees a lot of mea culpa press conferences, which are usually a healthy mix of humility, resolve, and a bit of ass-covering justification. The NRA's brazen deflection on to video games will surely become a case study in what not to do.
