    Guess it's so difficult, it's not worth the effort. Either way, video games are not the cause. It's such a lame scapegoat and so predicable that republicans would use that card. Trump mentions it and like zombie drones you guys all are nodding your heads.

    If you had watched the program, you wouldn't be here spewing the same "OLD" lame leftist bull shit talking points.

    There is actually MORE evidence NOW that "VIOLENT" video games that are VIRTUALLY REALISTIC 3D DO effect the brain than NOT, so once again, you're just here talking out your ass, same as Noir, the pair of little leftist bubble heads spewing crap with NO proof to back up ANYTHING you're saying.

    So where is you data that these mass shooters were avid VR gamers? Or are you just making shit up again? VR gaming is not that widespread yet. It's expensive.

    Since there really has been quite a lot of studies on video games, music, and movies and lack of correlation to rampages; seems the broad idea just doesn't work.

    VR may well be something else, there are lots of warnings. So, limit sales until testing has been done. Can do it by age or keep off the private market.

    Saying "video games" as a generic blanket statement isn't what I'm talking about. I am specifically singling out violent games where you KILL people. No, playing Mario Carts isn't going to warp your brain to the point where you go out and shoot people.

    However, I wish one of you would actually watch the program I linked to. They interview "video game addicts," and they admit they've been effected, and there's tentative proof that these games have things written into them that will cause addiction to them. Then get someone hooked on a 3D virtual reality game where they're killing people and have them play it virtually NON STOP, because they can't quit.

    You just can NOT totally dismiss what nefarious things people, the government, whoever might be up to. Greed drives much of it. Chase the dollar at all cost, or if it also furthers your agenda, and in the governments case, disarming people is certainly an admitted agenda, so what better way to do that then cause mass shootings?

    We didn't have mass shootings 50 years ago. We didn't have them 30 years ago. What's different? What changed? What is turning YOUNG PEOPLE into KILLERS? Well, for one, we didn't have ultra realistic, 3D, virtual reality or even 4K, 2D games where you went around wholesale KILLING people.

    And where is your data that shows they're NOT?

    Let's play a DEMOCRAT game, like GUILTY until proven INNOCENT.

    I posted a link to an hour long documentary show that I know damn well you did NOT watch, and you're IGNORING that, otherwise you wouldn't here talking like an idiot. You have no damn clue what the hell you're talking about, that's obvious. VR 3D gaming is VERY prevalent and GROWING, and not, it is NOT that expensive. You can get an Oculus Gear VR for your smart phone on ebay brand new for $35, so don't tell me expensive either, I have one, and the 3D realism is beyond what ANYONE ever expects to see. Throw in a game where you're killing people and it's almost like BEING THERE doing it for REAL.

    Now hold up.

    While I don't agree with video games being the bogeyman here , Trump was referring to unstable people when he said perhaps violent video games are part of the problem, and that is entirely true.

    Underdeveloped minds, whether through mental illness or through just age can not process video games or movies and such as what they are. This is why violent movies and games have ratings. Ratings that are entirely ignored by so many parents.

    I can't tell you how many times I hear "Why can't I watch that movie/play that game/go to that concert, all my friends do"

    I'm a HUGE Grand Theft Auto fan, I've bought every game since the first one, and I will buy VI when it comes out, but it is not appropriate for children, and I don't let mine play or even see me playing. And in my particular case we're talking about children who are well versed in gun safety. Doesn't matter though.
