Ugh. This is nonsense.

Do you think Timothy McVeigh was inspired by Doom?

Violent video games seems to be the talking point du jour coming out of the gun rights/white supremacist media machine... Was weirdly all over fox news yesterday. Is it a genuine concern, or just a trial balloon, looking for the best way to derail the conversation this time around? You be the judge!

While I don't doubt the right is using it as a talking point, ignoring one link because one likes it (games) while demonizing another link (guns) is not the answer to actually solving the issue and is a form of filter bubbling.

So then let's go back to stuffing our heads in the sand and doing nothing instead.

Show a link between games and hate crime fueled mass shooting by sad white boys and we can put it on the list of things to worry about. Until then, perhaps making it harder to get guns could help...

>>>gun rights/white supremacist media machine

Why do you link these two things, as if no minority is pro-gun rights and active in the media?
