Wal-Mart now sold on gun-control summit

Retail giant Wal-Mart has had an apparent change of heart about attending a gun-control summit called by Vice President Joe Biden.

The company tells CNN's Christine Romans it plans to send representatives to the Thursday meeting at the White House. It had previously said its experts on gun control were unavailable to meet due to a scheduling conflict.

      I grew up watching violent movies and gamesthe issue is the parents not instilling discipline and teaching wrong from right! Like obesity blame the food but should blame the provider!

      In the 50's and 60's kids grew up with every manner of toy guns, BB and pellet guns and it was common for a 12 year old to go hunting with his father. Playing "army" or "cowboys and indians" were popular outdoor games. We watched old west shooting shows on TV. Crime was low and most people didn't even lock their doors. The break down of the family has much more to do with the increase in violence than video games.

      Substantial evidence from decades of psychological research, including longitudinal studies, has demonstrated that violent TV, movies, and video games do not cause kids to be more aggressive.
