HuffPo\u00a0<\/b><\/i>reports on a state-level politician’s analysis of the school shooting phenomenon:<\/p>\n

Does anyone know what kind of porn Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) is watching?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whatever it is, the 67-year-old Black, who is running for governor of Tennessee, said it\u2019s a \u201cbig part\u201d of what is driving the spike in school shootings.<\/p>\n

During a meeting last week with local pastors, Black raised the issue of gun violence in schools and why it keeps happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cPornography,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there\u2019s pornography there,\u201d she continued. \u201cAll of this is available without parental guidance. I think that is a big part of the root cause.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No reasons given. So does this mean the streets are full, I mean\u00a0absolutely packed<\/i>, with potential school shooters? If she’s saying that, then she’d better ask what will happen when that porn is removed from the Internet and 95% of young unmarried men (I’m less certain of the percentage of unmarried women watch porn) become frustrated and enraged.<\/p>\n

More shootings?<\/p>\n

Just for fun, I pulled up the FBI stats on violent crime in the United States.<\/p>\n

Hey, look. Violent crime starts to go\u00a0down\u00a0<\/i>as the Web becomes popular – and we all know that porn is one of the biggest components of Web traffic, and always has been.<\/p>\n

Now, this is all very specious reasoning on my part as well as her’s. Correlations are often just coincidences, and I’d have to see more data before I’d believe my own assertions about porn and crime.<\/p>\n

But still, perhaps the good Representative should sit down and think about that for a bit. At least, with guns we know they’re a favored weapon of the whacked out. Not to mention people like me, the terminally clumsy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
