I know people I went to high school with, who hate Hillary Clinton, solely for going on a crusade against violent video games, claiming games like GTA lead to real world violence.
And well enough, I agree such is an extremely hacky point! Now here’s our President spouting that very same nonsense, but moments after praising the NRA! But really I can’t get over what a horrendous point this is, the ultimate non-issue, holding zero correlation to any real world violence.
Whenever you have a murder or a mass shooting, and someone brings up rock or rap, video games, a lack of god in schools, you know they’re not a serious thinker. Either that, or they’re making a cynical political ploy to deflect from the real substantive issues.
With Clinton in the early 2000’s I think she took this stance, acting purely on the instinct off her calculating political lizard brain. Given that Trump has made a number of alternative suggestions as is, outside of gun control in itself, I think he’s just an idiot!

Killers will find a way to kill. In my opinion it just doesn't matter what we do because killers can use cars or planes or guns or something else to kill people. Killers are relentless and will find a way to ruin lives. Sadly.

Where is the downvote button. I am know how to shoot pistols, shotguns, rifles and automatic guns. This was just a kid. Imagine if I was crazy or went crazy... I can probably make programmed weapons if I was hell bent on it and researched how to do it... meaning I can program them to be activated with a cellphone call. Most of the killers were crazy but if we get one that is methodical, and calculates everything... it will get really bad. The question is will he be able to kill a couple or hundreds.

This is the kind of behavior that Trump, the media, and your average twitter user continue to display. My point is not that people who use Twitter are dumb, but it is a platform that rewards impulsive behavior by slingshotting your brief message across the timelines of countless other people with zero accountability. That accountability, or lack thereof, does some really strange things to people psychologically and makes them behave in ways that are immoral and unfounded in any real data. I think your post is excellent because you did a great job of displaying another example of just how manipulative this tactic really is. The point of it is not to produce results, it is to push an agenda and to provide "security theater". I always try to stay as unbiased as I possibly can be when it comes to politics, but this is just a clearly foolish. Another great thing about your article is the juxtaposition of Hillary and Trump, essentially supporting the same issue not more than a couple decades apart. Quality post, I have followed and I recommend everyone else who is reading this to do the same!

I just think its absolutely insane that someone can go into a store and buy a semi automatic weapon but they can't go into a bar and buy a drink.

This is just Trump trying to help the gunmakers to spur sales and increase stock value. I didn't see anything about banning anything.
Why do people always assume banning when there is no mention of it? @sarahlouise

He should ban guns. Even those used in Syria or Asian wars. Video games are not the root cause to shootings in US or worldwide. It's the guns that must eradicated. I don't think kids playing GTA or Tom raider in Syria is the root cause to the wars there?
