It's not gaming itself. But it would be a good idea to observe your kid playing video games to see how he processes what's happening. The behavior to go on a shooting rampage doesn't just come out of nowhere. You could probably pick up on things if you spent time with th during their hobbies.

Why is blaming an object with hundreds of laws and regulations on it already the solution here? People are bypassing or outright ignoring these laws in favor of unleashing evil, yet we punish the law abiding. If you say it's people that can't be trusted, then you also admit that it's the people we need to focus on.

There are thousands of instances of self defense in this country that far and above outweigh these acts of evil.

They'll blame the children at the school before they place genuine blame on guns or the cops. They will never, ever, ever consider that either of those two things could possibly be at fault in any way.

Maybe because if you compare the situation to every somewhat comparable country the biggest difference is the massive amount of jerking off over guns and allowing anyone to buy them?

Like, fuck, it's not hard to see at all

There is just somethin not right with someone playing a game by themselves. Like why enjoy yourself? Why not work and have a family instead? Go outside and play a sport like a real mans man. /s

I like how all cops answers to this problem is to give them not only more funding but more rights. They instead should stop being such pussies about the what is legally allowed when something with a solution so obvious occurs like an active shooter at a school needs to be stopped. Their minds instead are always about their own protection.

If video games influence these shootings, do games influence other things? Should I move to a village of anthropomorphic animals where I'd be the only human because I play Animal Crossing? Should I become a urban designer because I play Cities Skylines? Do I have a notebook that spawns whatever I write in it because I play Scribblenauts? Do I go around hunting large monsters with oversized weapons because I play Monster Hunter? Should I......well you get the idea.

Video games didnt cause this, but we cant dismiss the possibility they may factor into this. Not as a cause, but as a tool the shooter used. For instance, the 9/11 highjackers used Microsoft Flight Simulator to become familiar with piloting aircrafts. Its possible the shooter here was using video games to become familiar with the weapons he wanted to use. Thats just my wild speculation, but its something that should be investigated.

Over the past 20 years there have been countless published psychological studies on the impacts of violent video games. We are well past the point of consideration.

Well, back then there was a rumor going around that the shooters had created special doom levels that looked like the school.

If the 1st Amendment was viewed as absolute as the 2nd Amendment, then it would be legal to libel, slander, and incite panic in a public place.

Some dudes over 200 years ago said you could own guns if you wanted and people have taken it as the absolute most important and inalienable right in the world.

True, although the vast majority of gun operators also have never fired their weapon illegally at another person, so their counter reply would be that we should likewise not blame the inanimate tool. I agree we should keep them out of the hands of potential school shooters, but how we do that successfully is debatable.
