As the final part of the Online Element of the Censorship and Regulation unit, I’ve been tasked with commenting on these photos as the Mothers Against Guns (MAG) would.
































We at MAG, although being of a large christian contingent, wish to help anyone affected by gun crime and hope only that the teachings of Christ will aid in helping people realise that gun crime and gun culture is wrong.






































We believe that teaching children about safe sex should be completely up to the mother, however this has little to do with our organisation or our aims.





























This picture neither encourages gun crime nor discourages it and as such we at MAG have no real opinion on it.






















































This image is an example of where news of violent crimes has become so-called "art" and as such puts the perpetrator in the same light as a celebrity. We do not agree with this, at least for young people to be witnessing it increases their likelihood to lose a moral compass and think that commiting crime is "cool".














MAG believes that the widespread reporting of violent crimes in the news is bad enough, but when kids are able to download violent videos off the internet on sites such as Youtube.com things become more complicated. Personally MAG thinks there should be stronger controls on such content, especially to children, mandatory use of nanny filters and the like when online.





























MAG has no opinion about this poster.



















Mag has no opinion on this picture as long as children will not be watching.

MAG supports charity work in poorer countries as well as in the UK and likes the idea of building awarenes, especially among young people.

Again, as long as children are not seeing this kind of image, MAG holds no offical view.

This video is again indicative of lower standards of censorship online and it leads MAG to be very worried that young people could be watching violent films and the disrespecting of women which is often considered part and parcel of todays rising gun culture.

MAG strongly disagrees with this new game, it breads a new level of disgusting violence aimed primarily for our children to play. It is this rising level of violent games that leads to young people being desensitized, which makes them more at risk of being drawn into Gun culture. We heavily protested this being released and are furious that the ban has been lifted on this poor excuse for a game. We hope that no children will ever play it.

Jerry Springer encourages violence on his shows and as such we dislike his syle and the way he bates young people especially into violent actions, we think he may also be inciting violence with his opera show. We hope that all mothers out there do not allow their children to watch such tripe and keep their children away from such violent shows. People do not really act like they do on the Jerry Springer show and children should be well aware that the shows "guest's" behaviours are unnacceptable in real society.
