In an effort to play the blame game and get the blame off of where it belongs and onto something as innocent as video games, the NRA is slated to blame violent media as a reason for Adam Lanza's horrific rampage last week.
Not to be outdone, multiple media outlets such as Fox News, Telegraph, The Sun, and CNN are also pointing a finger at video games as a reason why Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and six adults. Specifically, they're blaming games such as StarCraft 2 and Call of Duty for causing this.
However as mentioned, the NRA is also ready to point fingers to try and get the blame off of themselves and how easy it is for people to obtain guns in the States.
You know what? Adam Lanza also drank water and inhaled air. We should probably point our fingers at those things because they clearly are contributing factors to causing someone with an already established mental condition to go on a rampage and murder someone, let alone a school full of children and their own mother.
So to the media at large and the NRA, kindly pull your heads out of your collective asses. It's bad enough you're slinging this mud and that people are dumb enough to believe the absolute massive pile of crap you're spewing.

An anonymous "industry source" tells Fox News that the NRA is prepared to point its finger and the culture of violent media found in various forms of entertainment including television, movies, and video games.
"If we're going to have a conversation, then let's have a comprehensive conversation," an unnamed industry source told Fox News. "If we're going to talk about the Second Amendment, then let's also talk about the First Amendment, and Hollywood, and the video games that teach young kids how to shoot heads.(...)
From the NRA:
"The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters -- and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown," the statement read. "Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting."
