If video games and mental illness is the cause of mass shootings, why don’t other first world...

[Bush92]

Violent video games + mental illness = mass shootings.


I pray to god you don't like violent video games, Billy.

I was from the old Atari age. Pong could make you mentally ill.

 

[Bush92]

...countries have our gun death statistics? I mean sure it’s reasonable to assume a mass shooter is mentally ill, but in terms of an actual diagnosis, the statistics don’t support it. It also doesn’t explain how the US leads the developed world in mass shootings specifically.

Also, video games? Lol what I find funny about this bullshit claim is that must really confuse many Trump supporters. On the one hand, they love violent video games but on the other they know they must buy into whatever bullshit Trump says.

You brought this on yourself, and by the way, the data in this article is from 2015. Many more mass killings in other developed nations have since occurred. We see where you're going with this: America is evil and racist, right? Not right. Further, you want to believe people who kill dozens of their fellow human beings without mercy or hesitation are mentally healthy? All so you can push a narrative of anti-truth, anti-America, anti-whatever skin color? That key? The one called racism you assumed would open any door in the joint? Doesn't work in any lock, now does it? And last but not least, would you allow your offspring, at a young, impressionable age, to play first person shooters which graphically depict mass shootings?

Mass Murders Do Happen in Other Countries

Lol no one said mass murders don’t happen elsewhere. It’s that it happens here the most among developed nations. Why can’t you people grasp any kind of nuance?

I think it makes life exciting. It’s like a roulette wheel. When will the reaper land on your number? Car accident? Tornado?Combat? Heart attack? Plane crash? Mass shooting? Round and round she goes...where she stops...nobody knows. Life was even more dangerous in the Old West.

Right I’m sure your dumbass would still think that if you found yourself actually in one.

Concealed carry. I’m shooting back.

Bullshit stats. Do your homework.

What? Which part is bullshit? Just be an adult and explain it lol

There is 1 study that said we are #1 on earth in mass shootings. The person who did the study refuses to share his data set.

Watch the video.

I question that, but what is clear that we lead developed nations in it. That is undeniable.

We have a myriad of issues that are strictly American. These shootings seem to have increased since the late 1990s. In my opinion, the disintegration of the family unit is a big part of it. Something like 90% of these shooters don’t have a father in the home. Of course not everyone without a dad at home goes on shooting sprees, but boys who are mentally ill and don’t have a male role model that teaches them how to be a productive member of society and reaffirms their value as human beings, there can be issues.

The fact that we abort about a million babies every year also shows what value our society truly has on life.

I also think media coverage and social media aggravates it, like in New Zealand, with the guy live webcaming his shooting spree in the mosque. That was an Aussie. Australia has very strict gun laws, but it happened. Again, it’s a complex issue.

Seems like it's only a complex issue for those who genuinely care about preventing further mass shootings or getting to the bottom of their true cause. For radical leftists and most of the Democratic Party, this past weekend's pair of shootings meant nothing more than a catalyst for one, a renewed attack on Second Amendment rights, and two, ammunition for use against our POTUS. Wouldn't it be one hell of a thing if a political faction put either or both of these shooters up to carrying out their crimes? What would that say about America and our ability to at least co-exist with our government?

Christchurch mosque shootings - Wikipedia


The attacks killed 51 people[12][13] and injured 49.[3] Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian man, described in media reports as a white supremacistand part of the alt-right, was arrested and initially charged with one murder.[14][15][16][17] Tarrant was later charged with 51 murders, 40 attempted murders, and engaging in a terrorist act; he pleaded not guilty to all charges, with the trial expected to start in May 2020.[

Whites have mass shootings every so often. Black community and Hispanic communities have a slower attrition rate with daily shooting deaths. Same difference.

What we have here is a GOP stressed out America. Adding a ridiculous propaganda machine and the fact we are the only rich country without a mental health system and in fact they say 26% of our country is mentally ill. So why don't we have five week vacations like everybody else does Health Care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training ID card to end it illegal immigration. Thank you scumbag GOP and the silly dupes.....

What ethnic tensions?

Between the different ethnic groups in our great melting pot of a nation. It’s reality of the situation. What planet are you on? Why do we have white, black, Hispanic, Asian neighborhoods in this country? Birds of a feather flock together. Very simple. Then you can subdivide larger communities such as Chinatown from Koreatown. Irish South Boston from Little Italy (every big city has a little Italy). Jamaican areas from more traditional black neighborhoods and Mexican American neighborhoods from Central American neighborhoods. Just the way it is.

I imagine they play a lot of soccer games. In the mean time, Grand theft Auto is very popular in South Africa and their murder rate is close to 7 times that of the US. Perhaps we should ban cars while we still can. I hear their tires set aflame around people's necks is a very posh way of handling matters there.

No one said they cause mass shootings. They are PART of the gun culture, just like the violent movies produced by the Hollywood hypocrites who make their fortune making these movies while declaring they are anti-gun.

But thank you for proving 1) this issue is too complex for you to comprehend, & 2) Democrats reject any solutions / ideas that aren't gun confiscation / outlawing gun ownership and / or repeal of the 2nd Amendment.

Lol and yet your dumbass still can’t explain why the US leads in mass shootings to other developed nations.

Because, fuck you. That's why.

We're not giving them up, I don't care how many people die. ARM YOURSELVES OR FUCK OFF!!!

We don't want to hear another goddamn word out of your untrustworthy pie holes. You are the people who said the 2nd Amendment was about something OTHER than its pain text. And made us fight you to the SCOTUS to stop you.

YOU GET NOTHING!!! FUCK OFF!!!

[blackhawk]

Actually the worst mass shooting was in Norway in 2011and according to the shooters own manifesto he used Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 as a training aid. No the gane did not make him do this nor do violent video games or movies cause these shootings but I do believe they play contributing roles along with numerous other things.
