Trump Says He's Meeting With "Members Of The Video Game Industry" To Discuss School Safety [Update]

So guns don't kill people...but video games do?

Such a smart move to make, games are totally responsible for this kinda attack I mean how could someone know how to shoot people or which strategy he must use to kill people without playing Call of Duty or any other violent games, totally make sense

I've been a gamer since 1979 or 1980. Additionally, I've been a horror movie fan since a couple years earlier.
I also own several firearms including the AR platform. Not once, have I ever threatened anyone or went nuts and shot anyone or up.
That said, I see that a lot of kids now days just don't have a grasp on reality anymore, and games are also a lot more realistic and immersive than when I was a kid.

So many kids are on drugs for everything from ADHD to depression, etc.. These drugs mess with your brains. Part of brainwashing is to used psychotropic drugs and an immersive experience to program your mind to act a specific way. There are also a lot more chemicals in the air, water and food supply that disrupt developing brains and hormones.

Then there are all of the broken homes and/or homes where kids are never held accountable for their actions. When I seriously messed up as a kid, or was disrespectful to my parents, who fed me and put a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and toys in my room, I got an ass whoopin', and I learned from it. Now days, people are afraid to spank/punish their kids for screwing up because the system is against them and they can end up in trouble with the law, and the kids know it, so they lose all respect and do whatever they want.

I believe that the real focus should be on the drugs and chemicals everywhere as well as families/parenting.
Honestly, if they were to raise the age and actually enforce a law where kids can't get violent video games, I would be fine with it.
I'm not sure how enforceable it would be since there are a lot of worthless parents who get whatever their kids tell them to get or will just let them play their copy of a violent game.

Seriously, as immersive as some of these games are, compounded by whatever mental health drugs the kids are on, with this kind of potential for brainwashing/programming, there really is no need for kids to play games where there is an option to just randomly murder people left and right.

Well as far as psychology goes, if you're pre-disposed to be a killer due to an anomaly in your brain or a chaotic upbringing. Killing in games can make you want to kill someone. Normal people is NOT negatively affected by violent games, if anything it's an outlet, which is healthy.

Games are not the problem, dirty politicians several governments back until now are to blame. Get rid of the NRA and the guns, problem solved, but x amount of million (if not billions...) of dollars lost.

While he's at it, he should meet with Knife Industry to discuss about the recent stabbing incidents. And Clorox about recent suicides.

So...

Because people are sick of school attacks Thrump needs to do something. But because he doesn't really want to ban weapons (the real problem) he wants to do something with video games (it will NOT change anything but we will do something), or give teachers weapons (really stupid ideea)

What can i say... I just wander what video games did people have before 1970 (WW1, WW2 etc)

I think we can all agree no matter which side you fall on that video games aren’t and never have been the problem.

Here we go again lol. Ye, sure, blame the videogames instead of facing up to the fact that your widely and easily available guns are a major part of the problem. Or that your news channels are pretty much doing their best to keep the American population constantly nervous and/or afraid.

I don't mind if they ban the Switch as a result of some kind of meeting.

But apart from that, this is mainly a gun-related issue, and not a game-related issue.

If they ban my violent video games, I'm coming out, guns blazin.

I need an outlet.

By "members of the video game industry", he means his brother, you know? His brother works for Zenimax. We can only hope that his brother is a little less evil and greedy than the orange menace himself.

Sells guns at the supermarket, blame video games for mass shootings...

Politicians are the real trash human beings, sadly they are not the ones being shot at.

UPDATE: Trump team meets CEOs of Candy Crush and Clash of Clans. "We will know have a more pay to win structure seen similar in phone games. This type of game structure works great, that I can promise you."

Not that any will waste their time responding to his BS anyways. Games don't cause people to snap and kill others, or start wars or whatever the matter. If this is the case then we all need to start a class action lawsuit for eating utensils causing the obesity epidemic that's sweeping the U.S.

After just watching WACO, I've come to the conclusion the only way to stop Trump and his supporters are surround them at Mar A Lago and pump them full of tear gas. Maybe then the world can move on and start moving forward again.

and what will stop the WAR? Is it games fault?

maybe should crack down on the idiot parents that are buying young teens and kids violent video games. cant try push blame on gaming when there are measures to prevent under age gaming and responsibility of the parents to not allow that shit to happen. the idiots just trying to take pressure off the amount of guns that are available in america.
