Piers Morgan is slowly becoming an American hero. Thank god someone is willing on national tv to call these gun nuts on their bizarre bs.
The violent video game thing is such a red herring. If there was any credibility to that argument you should be having 1/10 the mass shootings in Canada that you have in the US, and you should be having 1/10 the gun murders, and the numbers should be the same per capita. It is not like Canadian kids play less violent video games or watch less violent tv shos and movies.
You almost have a completed controlled experiment, USA v. Canada. Both countries watch pretty much the same tv, both countries watch pretty much the same movies, both countries play the same violent video games. Both countries have similar rates of mental illness. Literally every variable is controlled with the exception of guns. Guns and access to them is pretty much the only difference between the two countries.
One country has six times the number of gun murders that the other country has.
