It does make sense though why support better mental care for disturbed people or ban guns that were linked to the crime but ban violent video games based on the fact that they were played by the killer.

Guns are mostly banned already in Germany (or at least much, much harder to get than in the USA). But I guess many American readers wouldn't like that idea either...

And how should it help if the government "support better mental care for disturbed people", if the amok gunman didn't receive psychological treatment before? It's funny how, on the one hand, people want the government to mind it's own business and leave them alone, at the same time they're lamenting that the country is to blame for mentally disturbed people.

Rule #1: Americans care more about their freedom than their safety.

Any good American would rather die than have the government be able to ban simple entertainment like video games.

Rule #2: Germans care more about cleaning the blood off their hands.
