Nobody wants to answer this question.


we all know how to pull a trigger, its not like these guys are effective at it, they just shoot and spray - the issue isn't capability, its intent

and banning video games is not the answer

It's training, desensitization, and normalization.

Oh! I know, pass a ban on killing people! Oops, maybe that's been covered already. I know sarcasm doesn't play well on the fire, but it does illustrate the uselessness of passing more laws.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Out of all the stupid, hypocritical schitt California does, recinding mandatory sentences for using a gun while commiting a crime (because too many minorities were using guns to commit crimes), because the law was racist, had to be one of CA’s crowning gems.

Instead of banning, how about making firearm training mandatory in schools, and furnishing training to all who want it who can pass certain requirements and psychological checks? Part of the problem IMO is ignorance of weapons, and a little knowledge could go a long way in confronting the problem instead of blindly running away. Just another crazy idea from somebody who knows nothing.

To reply:

I'm not the one who first thought of banning anything. They opened that door. They also think nothing of ignoring one Bill of Rights Amendment, so why not another one? They are quite happy to propose confiscating guns, why not video games? These are THEIR ideas, let's use them.

Video games are (as suggested above by another) desensitizing, suggestive of how to handle frustrations, or downright training for mass shootings. They already ban lots of things from video games and movies; this is nothing new, either.

I saw this on FB of all places..

“How many more shooting will it take, innocent people being killed, before gun owners will agree to turn in their guns?”

“I don’t know, how many more innocent women must be raped, until you agree to cut off your dick?”

😁😁

One more I should have included up top:

All media should agree to never publish the name or details about the shooter. Never allow somebody to think he'll be "famous" for such an act. Let them be anonymous.

No, I do not believe they do.

I do not think they believe any of their bullschit. It is simply rhetoric to accomplish the end result which is disarmament of the American people.

People can not use blue helmets for targets, if they own no guns.

Read all the posts, can't say I disagree with much. Video games are very violent, do they make people act out their fantasy world? I don't know. One thing I do know is that history has shown us that Socialists will do anything to further their cause Socialism, total control of the population and the assets of the population. Eventual communism. Look at who advocates these forms of enslavement , to people who are guaranteed freedom by their constitution. It is that simple, who is in this country right now advocating upheaval and change to socialism and you have the people responsible for the atrocities of mass shooting. They roar and scream about the " guns" but it's people who were influenced by the left that did the acts and atrocities to achieve their goals. Seems simple to me not really sure why it isn't obvious to others. MB

I had a flight simulator game. Played it for years. An A-10 Tank killer, if I recall correctly. Never did try to become a pilot. Damnedest thing, I guess some of us just can't be programmed. Oh well, next theory?


An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Agree .

How would children turn out if they could watch violent porn for hours and hours anytime they wanted for many many years - nothing barred - rape - beastiality - s & m - gay ?
Make it like a video game where they could assume rolls in the video's - kidnap little boys/girls - do horrible things to whole families show them liking being sexually tortured ??

Those kids would turn out just fine right - none would have any deviant behavior whatsoever would they ?
Nope - no way could all those hours of watching such things have any bearing on a young mind could it . . . .........

You also left out in the case of murder, mandatory death penalty, one appeal. If lost, execution within 24 hours.

NO ON GUN CONTROL. It will not fix the problem. It will not control or stop the shootings we have. Why? Guns are a tool not a problem. The shooter is the problem. The deep state is the problem. Satan is the problem. We can not let them change the game plan just because they control the media. We do not need any gun control laws. It will all even out in time.

Tighten your tinfoil dude.

Have you ever used a flight simulator? You're comparing apples to lug nuts.
