The government is completely ignoring the real problem here.

You want to lower shootings? Let me explain how

1. Self Accountability - There was a time when people had morals and actually held themselves to a higher standard. We live in a world that encourages you to not have beliefs, to ignore personal morals, and if you dont agree with what someone else does your "close minded". Strip away all personal justice and all your left with is a world where everything is right and nothing is wrong. What do you stand for?

2. Better parenting - Parents need to actually care about their children's lives and be involved. Show love, compassion, understanding, guidance, and discipline.

3. Stop bullying - Many school shootings and violence are the product of bullying and disrespect. This isnt just in school but life in general. Treat everyone as an equal and do unto others as you would have done to you.

I've never seen so many people opposed to simple research before. We have nothing to fear from this study. In fact, it would only help our cause. Imagine the Predisent of the United States himself stating that violent video games do not propagate violent crimes. What say we let them do their study, and if they think they've found a connection THEN we can object?

It's all for a good cause anyway. Of course the government is looking into what it can do to prevent violent crimes after that. Again, if we attack them just for doing a study, we'll look like we're afraid of what the results will show. Let's be more mature than that as a community.

10 mil is chickenscratch for the Federal govt, by the way. They wipe their nose with more than that.

Pretty much this, it was only one of 23 executive orders on gun issues.

I think an additional issue here is that the media also glorifies the shooter. When something like this happens they give equal amount of spotlight to the shooter and the victims, and in some cases more. They should be treating these people like the dirt and scum that they are by ignoring them, instead of giving them insane amounts of attention bordering celebrity status that only gives other troubled people ideas of how to get the attention of the masses. The only thing that should matter in these tragedies are the victims.

Next Call of Duty will only have small capacity handguns in it.

Yeah I agree 100%

I think we might be wasting this money...

You mean, like, further bullying them? That's often the reason they started shooting people in the first place.

We need to highlight the shooters and make sure that people realize why they commited their crimes. If lack of love, attention, compassion, etc. is the reason, then people need to become aware of that so that they will be encouraged to treat others (especially those who they believe are in the risk zone) with more compassion.

Simply saying, "Fuck all these stupid shooters!" will not work as an effective way of discouraging future potential shooters from commiting these crimes. They will just say, "Well, fuck you too."

10 Million dollars... wasted! And people wonder why our spending is so high. It's because we fund ridiculous things like this!

Not opposition to research - it's been researched quite abundantly already. 

Manipulation of data is a common practice of our government or haven't you noticed? This could easily happen here.
