It is quiet amusing, I wouldnt be all to surprised if the pro gun groups pay a lot of money to get the media to point at some other scapegoat.
The 'expert' didnt actually say 'VIDYA GAMES BE MAKING US BE TRIPPING MANG' (hows my American ?), he merely said media cause heighten aggression which includes violence, and named a few mostly American research groups... but if they are anything like the UK research groups, they come out with new 'facts' all the time which contradict other facts presented all the time... hell Eggs are bad for you, then good then bad then good.
At one stage smoking was actually healthy as it had a mild appetite suppressant, and caused mild tension relief... in moderation of course.
I would believe video games makes us violent if someone could tell me which game old Jack the Ripper played that made him go on his killing spree.
Nah, all this Video Games are to be blamed media is actually a smokescreen to hide the real culprits, bad parenting and inefficient ill disciplined and way to lax gun control.
I was watching Sky News here in the UK and they had a few gun shop clerks talking about the incident, and all on the shelves and walls was assault rifles, smgs , high caliber weapons ... to my non US viewpoint it looked like you could pretty much pick up a AR with your bag of fries and beers in the US.
I was thinking its all very well and good to have the right to bear arms, but ffs a entire armory ... it almost seemed that shop had more weapons than the British army does.
