My heart really goes out to the parents of Sandy Hook, CT. I could not imagine the pain those family feel from loosing their children so young and so tragic. I keep praying for them and pray God eases their pain a little everyday through great, although short, memories.Of course with all the tragic shootings that have taken place over the last six months, America is now ready to address the gun laws. I myself don't own a gun and I'm not familiar with any of the laws or what it takes to get a gun. I'm sure in the next few months my knowledge will change. It's funny, I knew my Dad had a gun. He kept it in his suitcase with his factor supplies locked up. I guess it was the only case he had with a lock. It was a pistol, I'm not even sure if he kept bullets in it..but I knew it was in there.
Anyway, with psychologist and news reporters now looking into the effects of video games on gun violence, I have to take a look at my own child. It's ironic that my husband and I have been discussing this previously about Marques playing his Xbox live all day. When I say all day, I'm not exaggerating. Just this past weekend he was on it from 5:30am to about 2:00am...and only because I made him go to bed. That is an example of an extreme time, but I know he would do that everyday if he could. Besides Minecraft, he plays Call of Duty. I really didn't know how violent Call of Duty was until I watched him play it.
