    President Trump said violent video games and movies may play a role in school shootings — a claim that has been rejected many times in the past 2 decadeshttp://nyti.ms/2FmE0Np

        Actually, there was studies done on this, that do correlate violent video games to violent children.

        why doesn't it happen in other countries? These games and movies are hugely popular in the UK and Australia and have nearly zero gun deaths, why would that be?

        You would guess it may have something to do with availability of guns and prescription mind altering drugs.

        Video games are played around the world. But nowhere except in the USA are there over 30k annual deaths due to guns. Putting 2+2 together, it’s logical to conclude: unrestricted access to guns directly correlates w/death from guns.Surprising that the NRA doesn’t sell video games

        Peggy, as much as you would like to manipulate a statistic to favor your opinion, lets dig further. Research shows that only 3%-6% of gun-related deaths are from legally obtained guns. Putting 2+2 together, its logical to conclude: gun access restriction may not be the answer

        Most of the guns weren't legally obtained, but many we're legally manufactured.

        How about instead of video games we focus on pornography and the effects it has on society and why someone would pay a porn actress $130,000.

        Let's do the research, I'm all for it. We'll have to do research on other aspects of school shootings at the same time, of course. That includes access to firearms, mental health, types of firearms, school security, magazine size, parenting, all of it.

        My apologies! With the number of Trumphumpers who actually do think that way, it’s hard to tell at times.
