Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin (R) said on Tuesday that increased regulations are not the solution to mass shootings, adding that that America's obsession with zombie television are partly to blame.

In an interview with conservative radio talk show host Leland Conway, Bevin said that the "culture of death" in America makes mass shooting more likely.

It starts with everything from the kind of entertainment that we focus on, he said. Whats the most popular topic that seems to be in every cable television network... Television shows are all about, what? Zombies! I dont get it... thats what we are. We celebrate death."

When a culture is surrounded by, inundated by, rewards things that celebrate death, whether it is zombies in television shows, the number of abortions... theres a thousand justifications for why we do this," he continued. "Eventually some of those young minds are not going to be able to handle it, and this is what we're hearing."

Bevin's comments, which were first reported by The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky., come a week after 12 people were killed by a gunman at a Southern California bar. The suspected killer, identified as 28-year-old Ian David Long, is believed to have taken his own life.

Bevin, who blames culture for violence, filmed a video in October in which he shoots grenade launchers and throws smoke bombs to "blow up" up government regulations and corruption.

Is gun violence the fault of the thing that's exclusive to the US or one of these 90,000 things that all western countries share?

I'm sure they'll find one that sticks eventually.

Way to omit the rest of my quote....next you'll be saying "the migos dont glorify the culture of owning and using restricted weapons".........every kid wants to be one of the migos, man. Once you take away their ability to see what responsible gun ownership looks like the music videos are all they are left with.

The rest of your post was dumb, too. Migos & 50 glorify criminal culture and TWD is a show about a fucking zombie apocalypse. Like, a Migos album is to gun culture what a season of Law and Order: SVU is to internet culture.

Once you take away their ability to see what responsible gun ownership looks like the music videos are all they are left with.


That ability hasn't been taken away and nobody of any relevance is trying to see that happen. That's a pointless statement anyway. "If you're not taught how to be responsible you won't be responsible!" No shit.
