Unfortunately our airwaves are saturated with violence. Before Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald live on TV, that was not true. And then, not many years later, we got war at the dinner table. With all that in front of us it is hard to make headway.
You might get farther if you made a law declaring pictorial violence illegal on television, in movies, and in video games. As a nod to the First Amendment, the written word would be excepted from this ban. I suspect this would damp down a lot of the problem. I'd also like to see criminals of this sort get NO publicity. Flush them like a dead mouse.
