Games get blamed for U.S. gun violence problem (again)

[Murph]

@Mottamort

Only reason they’re going after video games is because its the “easy” target of an art form. people don’t take it seriously because its “for kids” even though almost all the games shown their have mature ratings

The amount of children playing 18+ games speaks for itself as if expecting an Xbox, PS or a PC to substitute as parenting. Plonk little Johnny in front of the TV and write your Tumblr blog/drink a martini/whatever.

I’ve never been phased by violence (although never been a fan of sickening gore either), but gaming violence, as stated above, is sometimes so ludicrous it’s hard to take seriously. More often than not, the level of violence in games is pretty much on point with movies and series.

constantly steer away from gun control and legitimately look for excuses not to enforce gun control

You’re assuming gun control will quell gun violence. Spoiler alert: it won’t
