one of the very few things I agree with Trump, kids are exposed to material that is not for their age, and some are affected, not only from video games and movies but mostly random youtube/facebook videos...

I don't think it's a random coincidence that GTAV sales are still blooming, the most real-life violent video game is the best selling of all time, and kids seem to play it more than adults, from the people I know at least

they censored animation etc long ago, but that looks pretty pointless now, since video games are much more realistic, and violent videos are very accessible by kids

"Spikes in violent video games’ popularity are well-known to correlate with substantial declines in youth violence – not increases."

"He discovered that playing video games, no matter how bloody, did not predict violent behavior."

"Now the American Psychological Association (APA) has joined the debate, arguing in a research review that playing violent games is linked to aggression, but that there’s insufficient evidence to link the games to actual criminal violence."

For some reason the APA is saying there is a link between the two, but not useing any science to back it up.
Scientists that actually tried to study if there was a link, always find there isnt.

 

The political top are useing it as a scape goat, because they cant accept the fault lies with the guns, and mental health of people.
Health care and hard gun controll? thats not what Republicans are known for is it?

I ll be surprised if trump actually does anything with gun controll at all, hes all talk and no action.
