A gun would kill you in fraction of seconds and you will die before you can feel the pain but a TV makes your mind restricted, your thoughts restricted because you probably can't express what is in your mind and burns your creativity as you don't have a chance to imagine because everything is already shown and there is no need of you to think about it.

Yes. The medias influence is more powerful than you think. Lets take it for an example, in endorsements. Why do you think women waste their money in beauty products even though they`re already beautiful? Obviously, the media tells us that we are incomplete and we need their products to feel better about ourselves. Another would be crappy movies, just because its actors are talk show hosts or what not, once they endorse their movie many people will watch it even if its full of nonsense. Ideas are more powerful than brute force. Dig in deep of what you are really watching. Side: Yes

No, this debate is absolutely foolish, and obnoxious. The TV can be only classed as dangerous if the person viewing it is easily influenced by entertainment. The gun is only dangerous if the person wielding it has irresponsible intentions. You can not say either is dangerous on their own, but it is how the person interprets them Side: No

If a person does dangerous things after watching TV, then they were already psychologically messed up. That's not the television's fault, unless watching the television directly gave the person some sort of brain defect. If there was any such evidence to suggest that this happened, and that it happened because the technology in the TV caused it, only then would it be the fault of the television company and not the person who did the insane thing. Side: No
No, they are not. In the sense of watching TV and how you absorb and process what you see is up to YOU, not the televison. Guns are used specifically as a weapon to kill, or injure. TV's are used for entertainment, even though much propaganda exists, and the attempts of the media to brainwash society, a lot of us can think for ourselves and stand up for our own mind. Side: No

The original function of tv is entertain . Although some programmes are violent, it is programmes' problem rather than TVs' problem. Guns are weapon, its design is using to protect people and hurt people. No matter protect or hurt people, it is undoubtedly injure people. Meanwhile, the damage brought by guns is serious and even lead to people die. Side: No
