Republicans blame video games, abortion and other crap for gun violence.
 

How fucked-up is this:

Republican blame Video Games, Abortion, Irresponsible gun owners, not enough armed teachers, too many school entrances, and of course, the decline of religion in school.

Welcome to 1987 again.

Its their go to everytime...

on the other hand, democrats want the government to decide who is mentally healthy and who is not.

I dont think democrats have ever said the govt should decide things like that. Post a link please

It's so trendy to blame video games, internet and such things for everything.

I did the walkthrough of all GTA games, but never killed a whore with a baseball bat, in broad daylight after I stole a golf cart, dressed as a pirate.

Abortions LOL...

It's their party line. They can't blame the real problem because then they would piss off their corporate masters

What is the real problem?

There are many articles written about the need for a mental health equivalency test in order to purchase a gun, none I've read are in conservative news media, I'm sure you've read them to. We should all be diligent now about that before it gets to be a democratic bill. I'm confident you don't want that either.

I don't believe video games are the problem. When I was a kid we used to play "Marine" in the backyard with a toy M16. This was back in the day of Pac Man, Frogger, and Missile Command. They have the same exact video games in the UK but also no mass school shootings.

This nonsense about "protecting schools" needs to stop. There was two armed guards at the school, and still had ten killed and ten wounded. People watch way too much TV and think that a good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun before anyone gets hurt, and this is clearly not true. During the shooting in Texas law enforcement engaged the gunman for thirty-five minutes.

I second that.

I'm not surprised.

More abortions would help... too many unwanted, unloved kids as is.

well well, what do you know? a quick google turns up democratic North Carolina-

New NC Gun Law Requires Mental Health Checks, Delays Purchases | WLOS

Doors don't kill, people do

I agree they want laws in place for mental health related issues, but don't think it will be the govt doing the checks.

Mark, do u really believe that playing 1st person shooter games will have no effect? These games were developed as combat simulators for soldiers. No, I'm not saying that playing them leads to homicidal behavior, but in some cases where a kid is already mentally unstable, yeah it could push them over the edge

so in other words the culture :thumbsup:thumbsup

This is just classic.... Oliver North was not only a spokes person for the Call Of Duty video game series, but also he is one of the characters in the game.

lol. Republicans are against abortion unless it's their mistress who's the one getting one

Mark, what do you blame gun violence on?
It didn't used to be this way.
But now in the last 30 years or so...it's out of control.

So what do you think changed?

Yup, saw this in the morning on CNN almost pissed myself laughing when he blamed the violence on movies and "skipped" the video games.... I used to like him after he fell on his sword for Reagan but now ( after today) I consider him as just another lying and money grabbing scumbag..:2 cents:
