NOT ONE video game ever killed anyone!
NOT ONE GUN on it's own, sitting totally by itself
1) loaded ammunition
2) pointed
3) fired.
4) killed anyone.
So what is the differential?
Could a chimp pulled a trigger? And would the chimp be responsible?
NO. The owner of the chimp would be responsible for having
1) a loaded gun
2) available for the chimp to pick up and fire.
Who is responsible?
Yet NOT one cry for the behavior modification that violent video games provide!
One simple question for all you advocates for adding more to the 800 gun control laws among them the strictest in CT.. by the way...
Tell me if nearly $700 billion a year is spent advertising to influence buying behavior,
IS IT POSSIBLE that behavior such as the CT. killer showed was influenced by his video game obsession?
20-year-old Adam Lanza shot his mother before heading to Sandy Hook Elementary School and killing the young children before turning the gun on himself. Kotaku first pointed out the connection between the murders and the fact that Lanza was a gamer, and others have jumped on board, including U.K. radio station, Radio WM, who this morning spoke about how Lanza played violent videogames. The radio show sensationalised the connection between Lanzas gaming habits by exaggerating videogame violence, saying that most videogames reward you for creative kills, which is totally untrue.
