Eh, who cares. It'll work itself out. Though your comment on Biden and Alexander shows your own political bias more than anything. Either inanimate objects are responsible for killing people, or they are not. Either we hold the people who do the acts responsible, or we blame scapegoat X, Y, or Z.
YOUR president, Obama, has been going after the video game industry since day one. Yet, he gets the pass, because he's got a D after his name, and you like them there fellers, and you don't like dem der fellers with the R after their name.
The video game journalism industry has the same problem the regular media does, in that you suffer from group think. You all have the same political ideology, and it seeps more and more into your regular coverage every day. It's nauseating. NAUSEATING.
I'm here for GAMES. I don't want to discuss politics here. Yet, the only way conservatives are heard in your industry, is in forums. Because you all have mind melded, you're all followers, you all think the same. It's group think in the extreme.
To sum it up, we have the right to carry arms not to protect ourselves against our neighbors, but to protect ourselves against a tyrannical government. Some people are going to die to keep that freedom. Cars kill many more young people, adults, and others as a result of their use. Yet we live with that risk. We get in our cars every day, and your much more likely to be killed maimed and destroyed in your car. Giving up our gun rights, to prevent a tiny amount of deaths, is short sighted, stupid, insane, and makes no sense. I can think of about 10 different ways, without a gun, to inflict more damage than was done at ANY of these gun massacres. To think that taking away guns is going to prevent crazy people from going on a killing rampage, is pure stupidity. What was used at the Oklahoma City bombing? Yeah, not a gun. How many people died? Many times the total number of these mass shooting sprees.
Liberal video game journalists (the only kind there are) are quick to go after guns and try to blame them. Just like liberal and conservative old people are quick to blame video games. Truth is, the killers kill the people. Most, if not all, of them are mentally ill. They are probably influenced negatively by games, and movies. Putting ideas in their heads. Then, having those mentally ill people have access to assault weapons, also makes things worse.
So can we try to solve this problem, without giving up basic rights. History is littered with democracies that failed. Ours has been resilient because of our protection of minority viewpoints, and because of the protection of our liberties. Both are eroded as time go on, and eventually our country will fail. Let's try not to rush to that failure...
