Censorship & Regulation: Mothers Against Guns

~ Image One: "The God Delusion"
From the point of MAG, they would have no problem with the text "The God Delusion". Their issue is not with religion, but the politics and morals of society that means that youths are getting involved with, and are being affected by gun crime in the UK.
~ Image Two: Sex Education
Again, MAG takes up no quarrel with the idea of sex education, or sexual equality. One thing they may have an issue with, is that sex education is provided in schools, yet there is little or no warning of the dangers of gun crime despite the alarming increase of gun-related murders in the UK in recent years.
~Image Three: 'Opium' Advert
It would be unlikely for MAG as an organisation to have any issue with the Yves St Lauren perfume advert, although as individuals they may have an issue with the explicit-ness of the image.
~ Image Four: "A Vulture Watches a Starving Child"
MAG wouldn't directly have a qualm against this famous photo, however, may use it as extreme advertising to show the way that guns and gun crime can escalate and the effects it can have.
~ Image Five: "Short Bus"
As the majority of the content of "Short Bus" is people 'connecting' in post-9/11 New York by having sex, I doubt there will be much MAG would have to say about the film itself. However, it again brings up the contextual topic of war and the extremes that gun crime can lead to, which Mothers Against Guns campaign against.
~ Image Six: HIV advert for the NHS
MAG would have no issue with this advert, as its focus is not on sex education (as with image two), but with gun crime and gun crime awareness.
~ Image Seven: The Hanging of Saddam Hussein
As with image four, this still from the video of the hanging of Saddam Hussein would in itself not be an issue for MAG, but the context behind it concerning the war in the Middle East, would encourage them to make a point about the dangers of being involved in gun crime.
~ Image Eight: "Myra Hindley" by Marcus Harvey
The story of Myra Hindley is another way of making points about crime in the UK, by giving extreme examples such as the 'Moors Murders' committed by Myra Hindley and her partner Ian Brady. they wouldn't have an issue with the image itself as it doesn't promote gun crime, it uses the empathy value of children's hand prints to evoke a feeling of hatred and disgust towards Myra Hindley.
~ Image Nine: "Bloody Shit House" by Gilbert and George
Despite the controversial and shocking artwork that Gilbert and George create, and perhaps even the morals/jokes they throw about ["They said they’d bought the empty house next door to theirs in Fournier Street, and when I asked what they were going to do with it, Gilbert said, 'Make it into a bordello.' And George said, 'A children’s bordello.' "], MAG would have no issue with Gilbert and George, or their "Bloody Shit House".
~ Image Ten: BB's Imogen's Sex Tape
It is very unlikely that MAG would have any issues with an Internet released scandalous sex tape of a z-list celebrity.
~ Image Eleven: "Manhunt 2"
The selected image in question is that of the Wii release of "Manhunt", which has been something of an issue with the BBFC. This is because of the overtly interactive nature that the Wii brings to this controversial and violent computer game. With the Wii remote, gamers literally have to make stabbing motions to kill their enemy: in this instance, inmates in an asylum. Weapons used in this game can be improvised such as plastic bags for suffocation, or shards of glass for stabbing. Firearms are also used in the game, which would cause a great deal of upheaval with Mothers Against Guns. Despite the fact the game hasn't been rated as of yet, it is certain that youths under the rated age will be playing the game, either at the fault of retailers or the lack of responsibility from parents. the interactive nature of computer games has raised the worry about the influence of digital media on children, or impressionable youths. Mothers Against Guns would be strongly against the release of this game because of the gun-related, and outright violence in the game.
~ Image Twelve: "Jerry Springer: The Musical"
Despite the controversial and volatile content of the Jerry Springer musical, there is rarely any reference to guns or gun crime. As with the Jeremy Kyle show, their focus seems to be domestic arguments about the paternity of children and drug abuse.

Thank you and Goodnight.
