im just going to loooooooooooool ! they want to blame video games and yet in most US states any idiot can buy a gun over a counter at a store (no questions asked). if they had a proper gun licence permit system like other countries this would happen alot (im not saying it wont happen) less in the us, cause the fact is gun control in that country is nonexistent.
Yes, because the US is the only country in the world that sells violent video games. And in other news, there is absolutely no violence whatsoever in books, movies, plays or television.
It's absolute lunacy that almost two thousand times the number of people die on US roads each year in comparison to the number who've died in school shootings, but gaming still gets the blame simply because no one's willing to talk about the real issues here.
IMHO: ignore it and go back to gaming.
“The same is true. I would say 95 percent of scientists believe that violent media, TV programs, movies, videogames, increase aggression, and only 5 percent or even less believes they have no effect."
Way to pull numbers out of your ass haha. Anyone who thinks that video games, tv and music directly influence an individual (unstable or otherwise) to go massacre schoolkids are out of their minds. Anyone that thinks it's ok to be able to purchase AUTOMATIC RIFLES over the counter and not live in fear of the next nutcase to pull this shit is also out of his or her mind. What the hell do you need automatic guns for? Self defense? PSSSH. Hunting? Nope.jpg. Killing lots of people at the same time? YEP.
What gets my back up even more is when these anti-entertainment dickheads get up and start shouting about their pitiful cause using the latest massacre as fuel to their fire. How insensitive they must be to the families of the dead and wounded. This guy was suicidal and had a lot of anger to direct at people he believed were responsible for his lot in life. And he had access to the means to enact his vengeance in the form of high calibre weaponry.
What about all those violence in the religious texts ?

Folks are looking for answers as to why this happened, so this kind of response is understandable to some extent.
They should re-look the whole system on how guns are issued in the states. A friend told me that in the states they sell guns over the counter, just do the paper work for it, and its yours.
They can't blame video games. Video games do not tell you to go and kill a bunch of people.

Have you seen their answer to prevent this happening again. Armed gunmen in school instead of gun control. More guns to solve the gun issue, awesome.
