    Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says his big idea is for the federal government to regulate Call of Duty. I actually think it's plausible that these games could have a subtle effect on people's psyches, but if that's your main policy proposal after mass shootings, you're just deluded

        The research doesn't support any link between violent video games and violent actions in real life. Otherwise Japan would be a smoldering crater on the edge of the Pacific.

        The real cause of these young men doing these horrific acts are things like mental illness, and/or alienation, social isolation, stuff like that. Lastly, some of them are just evil bastards who get off doing this crap, let's be honest and look at the truth straight.

        Other countries play those video games too. Their psyches are not effected for some reason. 🤔

        He's suggesting regulating people's access to ideas. Having a "subtle effect" isn't an excuse to regulate any speech, main proposal, side proposal or whatever. If there are corporate donations to be had, Call of Duty will survive; it's the indie devs GOP will gladly crush.
