        Yeah but someone did decide to go on a rampage with a kitchen knife in Osaka. Japan, I think, has some of the toughest gun control laws, if not THE toughest in the world. Gun control doesn't work. If it's not guns, they'll use something else.

        You could decide to go on a rampage with a brick or stone if you wanted to. "Gun control doesn't work" and yet countries like Japan have some of the strictest gun control laws AND some of the lowest murder rates relative to population in the world. That's not a coincidence.

        Maybe he has a point? I mean, I remember after playing Super Mario Bros as a kid, I ran and jumped around on random pipes around the city of Los Angeles trying to kill off strange creatures that came out of the sewers....oh, wait....🤦🏼‍♀️

        I play violent games, but also my brain is developed. One day I played grand theft auto for 14 HRS snd honestly, while waiting for the bus the impulse to steal it was high. I had self Control. It honestly scared me and I quit playing. Some with mental issues have no Control.

        Breaking News. McCarthy has been rushed to Walter Reed to have his head removed from Trump’s lower colon. More details at the top of the hour.

        yep - every other country in the world also has video games but no other country has 250 massacres in seven months. Here's how to fix it - gun control

        "Yes, we have no idea who the Dayton shooter is and the manifesto of the El Paso shooter doesn't mention Duke Nukem, but as we all know, they were playing Nintendoes just last week." - @GOPLeader
