== Gun control debate vs. greater emphasis on changing violent thinking of society ==

I don't pretend to be greatly informed on the gun control debate.  I do know of an interesting study in Canada.  It seems when television (which certainly has its share of gratuitous violence) was first introduced one town or city did not have it for an extended period but if memory recalls a somewhat nearby town did have television.  It seems as if the town that did have television, had a noticeable increase in crime.
