I have no problem with any of this, really, other than the NRA's weaselly little attempt to shift public attention. Let them talk to experts, let them do research. That's good, in my opinion, as long as it's done objectively.

At some point, however, someone is going to have to point out that the overwhelming majority of children playing violent videogames are getting them from their parents. Unless they're willing to discuss mass censorship, which I hope would never fly in this country, then they're going to have to pin most of the responsibility on parents.

It's part of the political correctness. Attack certain ideas, never a person or a group of people. There are potential voters involved after all

Ever felt awkward when seeing the mother of a friend punishing him when you were younger?  Reasonably you should have expected it, but... that mother doesn't feel like the same person anymore.  It's more or less the same thing I think.

Of course, his son is part of the US military. No gun violence there.

And Roger is probably 100% correct.

All I have to say is, what a freaking joke.

Well... unlike guns, at least there is a correlation between violent videogames and violent crimes/murders/shootings.

So at least there is a sliver of something there... Of course, the problem is most politicians don't know the difference between correlation and causation. It's why before you run of senator you should have to be able to pass a scientific understanding literacy test.

Videogames are to blame for lots of murders. What people forget however is games like Angry Birds actually kill more people than COD. People who don't experience human interaction are the ones usually associating low value with human life. Staring at screens for 20 hours growing a farm is bad for you. Hanging with three other friends on the couch killing thousands isn't.
