3. So glad you weighed in, usonian

I have no, and I mean no experience with violent movie content.

Insofar as games go, however, I do recall a couple decades ago when a student made a speech about violent video games. As part of his speech, he had some violent content from the game playing constantly in the background. I could not get this out of my head after I saw it.

I recall that I worried about how such visual images could play into a primitive part of our psyches. That, I think, is what he is talking about here.

I suspended judgment on the part about leftists loving their guns. He didn’t need to say that. It doesn’t seem to have relevance to his overall message.
