[/url]
Video games are partly to blame for mass shootings, Donald Trump has said.
Games that "celebrate violence" should be discouraged and made harder to buy, the president suggested.
"We must stop the glorification of violence in our society," he said during a speech in the wake of a spate of shootings. "This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace.

If they can't do anything about helping mitigate the broken minded from going out and shooting into crowds of innocent people, then they won't be able to do anything about something that is a non issue. It's all deflection and smoke and mirrors.

The nerds of the planet are not to blame. Most hardcore gamers geek out and wouldn’t hurt a fly. They might rage quit but not kill. Pleas pay more attention to the freaking psychos Mr. President.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29535447/ This has been studied numerous times over the years, and not by some idotic group of people, but by very smart, highly educated and extensively experienced professionals of the field. [b]Video games do not promote violence[/b]. End of story. No come backs, no "what ifs", it's the end of the story. To me, it's just one way to try and avoid tightening gun control, because they sure do love their fully automatic weapons that literally no one bar the military require.

If you play violent video games and then think it's ok to go shoot a bunch of people you were going to go and shoot a bunch of people anyway.

1 ReplyHe’s 73 years old. Politicians, especially the older ones, seem to blame video games more for violence. They usually choose that as the scape goat because it’s an easy thing to blame, when in reality they just lack knowledge on it. They end up blaming something they don’t understand because that’s the easiest thing to do. Trump’s not going to bother doing research on studies showing that video games don’t cause violence, nor will almost any politician.
