Do Violent Video Games Contribute to Youth Violence? (generations, spokesman, soldiers)

[Mtnluver8956]

i think so.

Of course as does violent movies and music.

But these industries are run by the left and make them a lot of money. So instead they blame the NRA and guns.

If they really cared about gun violence they would not only want guns banned but references to guns banned in movies, tv, video games and music.

I hesitantly say yes it's a factor but certainly not the only factor, at the very least it desensitizes people.

So video games kill people? Thought the NRA argument was inanimate objects do not murder?

But of course the game playing system is not what is really talking about but rather does entertainment adapted from combat simulations after generations of study and improvements on how to get people to accept combat?. Does the conditioning used to desensitize soldiers also desensitize game players?

This has been studied for going on 30 years now and no substantive coorelation has been found. In fact,
Obama directed CDC to study it (had to do it as a directive as the GOP would not fund it).

Yeah guns don't kill -- but we need to censor movies, songs, video games -- they kill/.

Of someone who already has violent tendencies though

Video games motivate people to think along those lines. I am not a NRA member or spokesman. These are my opinions I really don't care what they have to say.
