Video Games and “Assault Weapons”

It seems that many of the people talking about gun control are also getting into violent video games, and movies.

Honestly when some D-bag starts prattling about “Assault Weapons”, or other gun-bans, bring up the video game thing.

Video games in America are one of the biggest cash cows. A best-selling video game makes more than a blockbuster movie, and video games do it at a fraction of the budget. Also compare this with images like this. Not everybody plays violent video games, and not everybody owns a centerfire semi-auto rifle and/or a gun with a big magazine….but statistically those numbers are within the margin of error for “Everybody”.

If violent video games, or movies, of D&D, or self-loading rifles, or magazines that held more than 5/10/15/20, were such a problem, I wouldn’t be typing this, nor would you be reading it, because we’d be bunkered down fearing for our lives, or watching the last of our blood pool on the floor.

Correlation does not mean causation, but we DO need correlation to show causation. That’s a tough hurdle for the antis.
