While research waivers on the strength of the link between viewed violence and behavior, one's common sense says there must be some sort of a link between the mind of a mentally ill person and repeated viewings of carnage, gun violence, knifings on video games and TV. To be impactful, it must impress. That said, I am urging that 10% of gross profits in any industry that provides R-rated and lower videos or games as well as all news organizations, cable or network, be mandated as a tax used to fund mental health prevention programs and treatment centers across the nation, beginning in large cities. I would also like to find ways to encourage more research on why the gun numbers in our nation have not changed but the increase in violence has.
