There's still a major lack of scientific connection between game violence and tendency towards ACTUAL violence.
They're always doing tests like (2 actual examples) seeing how long a person honks a horn or if they'll come up with more violent solutions for a FICTIONAL character to solve a problem.
In all honesty there is no real solution to the problem at the hand. The background checks and waiting periods are suffice. If someone wants a gun they will go find one. In many instances it seems the guns being used are not in fact owned by the crazy prick shooting up the place. And you sure as hell can't screen mental health. Even a nut who's depressed, suicidal, etc can easily get around some questionably ethic test should one be implemented. Quite frankly a good start to solving this problem is not reporting it & covering it for weeks, months of New Channels.
How about a total ban on handguns. Make it a $10k fine (for the poor) and a $1000k fine for the rich AND a year in prison should you ever be seen carrying a handgun ANYWHERE.
I would like to see what would happen to the gun crimes.
If it doesn't help ban all the guns (rifles included) and double the fines and jailtime.
I like dishing out penalties to stupid folks.
You would make a fine Nazi. For that is exactly what they did to people.
NEWS at 11 Spoons make people fat!!
Canada and the U.K. watch/play the same stuff as us americans and listen to *almost* the same music. To say that any media sources have anything to do with mass shootings is silly (to me).
I hardly hear (practically never) of mass shootings in canada/u.k. meanwhile in america it is a by-weekly thing; the only real difference: gun laws.
Now all you pro-gunnies can come in and say how taking our guns away is against the constitution, but no-where in this post do i actually say "take our guns," i just think there needs to be some major restrictions like:
All magazines/clips (?) that hold more than 5 bullets are extremely illegal. If you need more than 5 shots for hunting or self defense, you shouldn't have passed the required test for a fire-arm.
^Epic wall of text, that no one will read.
Not that i care about disagrees, but it'd be interesting to hear why. Not looking to argue, just would find it educational to hear "the opposing side of the argument"
But still, maybe another reason is Canada has better care for mentally ill, and has less population concentration. Yeah, didn't want to touch on that because those are two key factors as well.
The guy that just killed 4 more people in Aurora, Colorado went on a rampage, until he met an officer with an AR-15. There was only one more bullet fired, and that's his into his skull. For a reason.
(EDIT: Uhh.....someone do me a favor. Check if I have 4 comments. Maybe I snapped, but I don't see 4 comments. Just 3. Awwww, maaaaan; I think I missed out on a bubble because when I tried to post one of my comments I got a "something went wrong" message)
I'm not saying everyone needs assault rifles, but there is a reason for the right to be there. You also have to look at all mass killings. There are several that only dealt with bombs and knifes. One of the biggest in history was a person at a school that carefully set up bombs and only used a gun to kill two people and set off the explosives. When people are lunatics, insane, or mentally ill, they will find ways to kill people. Assault rifle or not, it will happen. People need to remember there was already an assault rifle ban, it didn't do anything.
We just ignores alternate routes and instead the politicians take the easy way out by blaming something other than themselves. What they should be doing is taking steps. Take better care of mentally ill, get news in a more positive light, make a better society and give better protection. If none of that works, then jump to conclusions of assault rifles.
The absolute most that would happen is a ban on new sales of guns. Even that would be awkward because how would you prevent used gun sale of millions of weapons that have over 5 bullet magazines?
check out this video of jesse ventura, everything he said here is true,
wake up people!!

Like really! I haven't seen a single "criminal" follow the law. Anytime I watch the news that involve guns like a mass murder, drive by, or a robbery of some sort, the criminal always seem to have a large amount of fire power!
Where does a criminal get all that fire power, with background screening, you must ask yourself how does a criminal get all that fire power?
BY BREAKING THE LAW OF COURSE! LOL
so what is gun control to a criminal compare to gun control to an average joe?
But I wonder how often the person at the counter Doesn't explain and educate the parent and it slips by.
Plus, just go online with CoD for 5 mins and you'll realize that 80%+ of the people playing are 15 or younger. Parents are to blame. Stop pushing the blame elsewhere and start taking responsibility.
Billion dollar industry + america = not much will happen to it. They sell cigarettes and that is much worse.. More smokers than gun violence in america. Legal suicide.
Biden is a liar, an idiot, a hypocrite, and a complete piece of shit (a politician, in other words). Keep him away from the industry!
There might not even be a bad parenting connection either. This person might just be mentally disturbed.
A person acted this out, leave the blame where it belongs
I want to throw all politicians in a deep, dark hole and bury them there.
So I guess the ones that happened in the 1800s and early 1900s are also due to videogames.
Oh wait, they didn't exist in the first place back then. Hell, even from 1980 to 1990, you could say videogames weren't even realistic enough to be a cause to begin with.
90's-Current is video games
Pre 60's was books
And before that it was whatever the biggest nimrod in the government could think of. Anything from witchcraft to hanging out with indians. If kids ever enjoyed doing chores I'm sure our government would find that offensive in some way too.
All false acusations are always based on ignorance and fear at the worst of crises when reasoning is muddled the most.
Oh thats why, they are putting money into his pocket and video game companies are not. Once video game companies start "donating" money to these worthless politicians, the focus will change. Unless Hollywood ups their pay.
I've been saying lately. MILLIONS of people around the world play the SAME games and watch the SAME movies, wouldn't a will to kill people be way more widespread if it was the issue? It isn't. Hitler never played GTA or Call of Duty, but was still a lunatic.....
http://www.washingtonpost.c...
This chart made from the United Nations' foundings proves that the United States' laws are to blame. Call of Duty is extremely popular in the United Kingdom and yet out of every 0.1 per 100,000 people, there is gun related homicides. The US, however, is 30x that.
I am becoming sick of these accusations of video game violence affecting real life because that simply isn't the case.
Do you feel lucky punk?
:P
Ban guns = Different weapons of choice such as BOMBS and SWORDS!
So and an So forth. People WILL find a way
I'm surprised half these politicians have enough brain cells to function as a human let alone run a country.
Don't get me wrong I love american products, such as food, movies and music but, imo, America was doomed from day one.
Bring on the hate, fellas, I can take it. Just stating an OPINION.
