Republican Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee recently cited pornography as a contributing factor to gun violence in schools.

"How many of you when you were in school ever had an experience where a kid came to school with a gun?... Never happened. So we say, 'Why?' ... Why do we see kids being so violent? What's out there? What makes them do that?" Black said during a listening session with local pastors last week, according to audio HuffPost obtained and posted Tuesday.

Black, who is also running for governor in her state, went on to list "deterioration of family," violent movies and pornography as what's led to school shootings.

"It's available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there's pornography there," Black says in the audio. "All of this is available without parental guidance."

She adds, "And I think that's a big part of the root cause, that we see so many young people that have mental illness get caught in these places."

In the audio, Black does not detail what it is about pornography that she believes contributes to school shootings.

"I think the context is pretty clear," Black's campaign spokesman Chris Hartline told CNN Tuesday. "Diane believes the breakdown of families and communities plays a significant role in instances of school violence."

Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts criticized Black's comments, writing on Twitter that "despite all of the data and experts at her disposal, (Black) chooses to blame 'grocery store pornography' for school shootings. And she doesn't mean the magazines that glorify guns."

Why is it that women who hate porn look like they never get fucked?

That's how those republicans roll. They deflect and blame everything else and turn a blind eye to the actual cause of the problem

What in the world is the connection between guns and porn?

She didn't go into detail.

Makes sense, they just use 2 to 3 words to program Trump supporters nowdays "porn bad" "Putin good" "China jobs good" "veterans bad" "Trump good" "spygate bad" "spygate real" "racism fake" "Mexicans are rapists"

Czech Republic has similar gun laws than the US and probably more porn than any other country.

And they drink - a lot.

And still they are more peaceful than almost any other country.

Then again they don't pump their children full of drugs and people love to spend their time outside disconnected from their TVs/Computers.

So what do we learn from that?

Excellent points :thumbsup
