Kentucky governor Matt Bevin proposes a new theory on why America has a gun violence problem:
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) has been forthright about what he believes are the root causes of mass shootings. A few months ago, he blamed gun violence on children’s access to smartphones, video games and psychotropic drugs.
Most recently, he blamed society’s obsession with a specific genre of violent entertainment.
“Seriously, what’s the most important topic that seems to be in every cable television network for example? Television shows are all about what? Zombies,” he said in an interview Tuesday with conservative Kentucky radio host Leland Conway….
No word yet on whether teachers and students will need to start arming themselves both zombies and grizzly bears, which might present a problem given that wielding both a shotgun (the recommended anti-zombie ordnance) and a high-powered rifle (with sufficient power to bring down a grizzly) might be impractical, especially if students and teachers are expected to continue carrying other items such as books.
