  2. New?

    That old chestnut.

    He’s digging deep. What next? The music?

  3. Other countries have video games and they don’t have mass shootings. Maybe, just maybe, that’s not it.

  4. We’ve come full circle,  its not trans people but video games. 

  6. At this point, we might as well get Satanic Panic going again. Recycle all the classics! /s

  7. That is so 90’s. If we can survive Manhunter and Doom 2016 we’re probably fine.

  8. Only a matter of time before Marlyn Manson is invoked

  10. Old as it gets, avoid talking about the one true cause of mass shootings, the guns that people use to commit them.

  12. New? Is it the early 2000’s again? Either way, I’m sure he’s making Jack Thompson proud. 

  13. Next he’ll suggest explicit lyrics in rap music!

  14. Violent video games are absolutely a problem!

    Let’s ban them!

    Now let’s get back to getting more of those trained killers from the Department of War out on the streets!

  15. Again with this shit. What a bunch of crap.
    There’s a multitude of factors for causing gun violence:

    * Easy accessibility of guns.
    * Mental health crisis.
    * Income inequality.
    * Drug abuse.
    * Religious indoctrination (aka: dissemination of hate).
    * Political identity.
    * And many more.

    But nooo, its the videogames, rock music or lack of jesus. For fuck’s sake. We went through this decades ago. Can’t they be more original on their lies?

  16. It’s not new. It’s old. And proven untrue. But RFK doesn’t care about facts or science.

  17. This is such an old talking point. People have been blaming video games for decades now, but there’s no solid evidence that they cause violence. Most countries play the same games and don’t have the same issues with mass shootings.

  18. Dude is a clown and there isn’t a punishment harsh enough for him.

    The article above this one in my feed is about how junk food has made it so there are more overweight than underweight kids for the first time since they started tracking it. If he really hated these “evil” companies and wanted people to be healthy, he’d be going after Nabisco instead of Novo Nordisk or Naughty Dog.

  19. This was nonsense when it was Senator Clinton saying it and it still nonsense 20 years later.

  20. What video game did he play that made him saw off the head off a whale, or whatever the fuck he did?

  22. Ah yes the video games,played worldwide yet mass shootings is largely a US problem. Meanwhile a significant chunk of mass shooters openly have Nazi sympathize just maybe that has something to do with it after all they put it on there magazines and post about.

  24. This entire administration is stuck in the Reagan years.

  25. Columbine happened my senior year of high school and the insanity of making it about Marilyn Manson and violent video games was the moment I realized I didn’t want to bring kids into this world.

    Everything since has only affirmed this decision.

    Fuck these fuckin fascists.

  30. Wait till he hears about this new game called Dungeons and Dragons.

  31. I really wish we had someone in charge of making decisions in our government that had some real, personal experiences with the loss of loved ones to firearms that … wait.

  32. The 90’s called and they want their culture war back.

  34. Have we gone back to 1995? Are we back to blaming video games? Maybe we can blame D&D for its satanic influence next.

  35. If this wrinkled, whale-carcass dumping, unpasteurized milk drinking, vaccine denying old duffer gets GTA6 taken down in the US, it will be the French Revolution.
