Because it's not like they have the same violent video games in Japan or Australia, where you can count the number of gun massacres in the last decade on one hand.

Unless you want to close off mass shooting areas more tightly than Chelyabinsk in Russia, ain't gonna happen. Most of these shooters would just settle for terrorizing the local community, in any case, and that's something you really can't hide from the media. Keeping stuff like this off the media will not help. They'd get plenty of play on social media and message boards just from viral word of mouth, and the Streisand fact might very well amplify it beyond anything the media could do on its own.

It's probably safe to say that he's deep in the NRA's pockets.

^ this is how you counter bullsh*t, with facts, clearly stated and keep repeating it, when people spout non-sense.

If you dont, they paint a picture, where there lies eventually become truth (in the public eye).


Anyways instead of talking about social equality (doing things for the poor) to combat crime, or strict gun laws (or removeing them all together)......
Lets blame video games am I right? cuz this is clearly the cause and effect of mass shootings.

The only way to stop a bad videogame with a gun is a good videogame with a gun.

I thought I filtered Political Threads!!!!

Yes video games, like literally everything in our environment, can have an affect on us as a person and our personality.

No video games are not remotely close to being a big reason for mass shootings and banning video games will have zero affect on stopping the mass shooting epidemic.

Honestly, you don't know what you're talking about if you're trying to spread out statistics evenly over a country the size of the United States.  I literally live 1,000 miles away from Chicago.  

Well Rupert Murdoch's New York Post just came out with article calling for ban of assault weapons. Maybe something might eventually change?

I just wish the blame game would stop.  People have been false blaming society's problems for decades.  They used to say rock and roll would turn everyone into the devil.  Then I believe it was TV, movies, and now it has to be the new voodoo tech that is spreading like a disease into all households known as video games.  However, I still blame radio for Hitler.

if compaired to the populace (at the time), probably more than today :p
Something tells me they didnt exactly keep track of such things back then, so we ll probably never know.

Yeah, this is just one of the several excuses that periodically comes up and it never holds up to even the slightest scrutiny. For one to even consider the idea that video games are a major cause behind these shootings you'd have to assume that no other country in the world has them since shootings aren't nearly the problem they are in the US.
