Billy: Now Sid, don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!

Bullshit, I love American Psycho and Natural Born Killers and I've never pulled a gun on anyone.

LOL! American Psycho is about the shallowness of the 1980s yuppie culture and Natural Born Killers is a direct reflection of the media's obsession with serial killers. Morons!

I donât like violence anymore than you do. Violence is a bad thing. If movies caused violence, weâd be able to wipe out violence tomorrow â BOOM, no more films. Thatâs fine with me, Iâll find something else to do.

it's just sad to watch them scramble and cop out of having and participating in the necessary discourse following the newtown tragedy.

NRA leadership, not the smartest bunch of guys in the world. Idiots.

Two great points all people for stricter gun laws should have in their "arsenal"-no pun intended..1. There were two armed security guards at Columbine 2. When Gabby Giffords was shot and 6 people were killed in Arizona, citizens had guns on them. It obviously didn't help prevent the six deaths that occurred and one man admitted to almost shooting the wrong guy.

I think it is important for us as filmmakers and artists to examine ourselves…to deny that our medium isn't powerful and influential is idiocy. Ad agencies wouldn't spend millions of dollars for a 30 sec super bowl commercial if our medium wasn't powerful. I believe we have a tremendous responsibility.

These movies and videogames are sold all around the world… if what the NRA says were true, why these killings only happen in America? It could be because it's one of the countries where you can find weapons easier? Please! It's true that media has a powerful effect on society but please, how can these NRA crooks wash their hands like that? Disgusting bunch of weirdos who only care for selling more guns!

Well, I obviously can't speak for anyone else… but after these two films I went on a killing spree that resulted in the deaths of over 27 people… but that's just me.

This might be a dumb question — but why is no one suing gun manufacturers? Jeez, nobody made people smoke, but tobacco firms have been sued up the ass — I'd rather confront a smoldering cigarette than a loaded .45.

And, puhleeze — I bet the average NRA nutjob freakin' LOVES gun movies. Talk about two-faced, head-in-the-sand asshole, that's you Mr. LaPierre.

The United States has the lowest homicide rate since the early 1960s. I think violent video games probably decrease violence in society, because all the little 16 year old boys are at home playing video games instead of getting high and stealing and breaking shit.

I blame automatic weapons of all sizes. No one is saying a citizen can't own a hunting rifle, shotgun or revolver, but what does a person need an automatic sidearm or rifle to defend himself from??

Revolvers, long guns, shotguns all legally available. Anything more than that, has to be justified. Unless a suburbanite is planning on partaking in a running gunfight with gangs or drug dealers, anything more is totally unecessessary! How may would have died in the last year if the shooter had to fumble to reload a revolver?

Do the math, I'm sure it will be really easy math for some….

My favorite part is how Wayne LaPierre is too lazy to look up any recent violent movies so he just goes off on the ones they were blaming for Columbine.

The plan to introduce more guns to schools is so fundamentally flawed its unbelivable. If this "plan" gets introduced, it'll be only a matter of time before someone slips through the net and commits a mass shooting in a school that they have volunteered to protect. Please, Please, will you just wake up and stop this nightmare from continuing.
