Most (all?) of these are US military games.

Ooh, let's do TV next. Then films. Then books. And finally, the worst of all, newspapers.

It is pretty graphical, but I guess -- movies can be worse. I am considering showing this to my gamer kid to get his opinion on the content.

So, a giant list of M rated games pretty much intended for adults.

I like how they ripped things straight from people's youtube channels.

Also, they do understand that the rest of the world has access to these games right? Kind of shits on any correlation they want to make there, doesn't it?

That is the part that befuddles me with their whole argument. Every other country in the world has these games, movies, and TV... have they seen some of the stuff coming out of Japan and parts of Europe. They all have equally violent games and movies, and they don't have the same problem. And as was pointed out by CrushBug, they are all Rated M games.

They all have "mentally ill" people too... and don't have the same problem. Another argument that makes no sense, given that one of their first actions was to make it easier for "mentally ill" people to get guns. Though as I understand it that hasn't gone into effect yet, it's still the principle of saying "it's mental illness" while making it easier for those you are blaming. Not to mention every version of their attempts to get rid of Obamacare included massive cuts to mental health programs.

The fact that all these people are the same people who scream "right to life" in regards to abortion, and that's why they vote Republican (a party that loves war and the death penalty), is a bit odd since they seem to love their right to own a gun far more than the tons of lives snuffed out by said guns each year. I'd be more or less happy enough, for now, to just end the Dickey amendment and see how the data works out. But no, they still refuse to do that... probably because the NRA has an idea of where that data will go.

let's do FOX tv

Don't worry, Trump has some innovative ideas about violent movies as well.

Trump Thinks We Need Some Kind of ‘Ratings System’ for Movies

Er mer gerd.
How do they keep allowing this brain dead slug to speak without a script? Luanne Platter had a better grasp on reality.

He has the most, best ignorance of anyone. Of anyone. Really, he does. Everybody is saying so. Everyone knows it. The best. More than anybody else. *smug grin*

To be fair, correlation of gun ownership to gun violence isn't exactly clear cut either. No country has quite as many guns per capita as America, but there are countries with relatively high gun ownership that don't have the same problem with gun violence. Clearly it's a complex issue...

but maybe media is to blame somewhat. The news media. I wonder if the reporting was minimised - i.e. no images of the killer, no details about the killer, just reporting of the incident, the victims etc and then, as callous as this perhaps sounds, on to the next story. The families of the victims aren't helped by the frenzy or speculation and I really think it only encourages the next would-be murderer. It gives an opportunity to have a discussion about gun control (except it comes across as opportunistic...) but America's gun violence problem is larger than mass shootings. To me, it's as much about the stickups that go wrong, the fact every police officer can make a poor decision and end up killing somebody, its about lil timmy accidentally shooting his best friend, its about suicides... not just about tragedies that dominate the news. Oh, and games have fuck all to do with any of it

Sounds like a great way to sell lots of guns.

You were "jokingly saying"...?
Like the same as putting Just kidding at the end?

It was a joke about playing PUBG. "I havent killed anyone in the games I play"...come on. don't make me explain it.

I don't even know what PUBG is.

But, yes. I knew you were making a funny. So was I. :- )

Just Googled PUBG... Don't explain it.

See, I didnt know you were making a funny, cause it didn't say you jokingly said it.

I would have except the only option I have is, SARCASM. I don't have the JUST JOKING checkbox.

I just posted this, made as a rebuttal to his video.

As odious as this is, I think that collecting a montage for the purposes of commentary (even if the commentary is implied rather than stated) is probably Fair Use.

@BSR that’s what the sarcasm box does... it adds “jokingly” between your name and “said”.
