Yeah see the thing with cracking down on violent video games is, where does it end? OK so lets say after they successfully remove Call of Duty off the shelves another shooting happens. So you start removing violent movies and TV shows. So now we live in a happy society where nobody has access to simulated violence right? Well what about books, plays, operas and other types of performing arts with violence. So next mass shooting, you remove Macbeth, Crime and Punishment and Swan Lake since they're not really wholesome and can influence our children. Alright, so what happens if someone else goes loony and kills a bunch of children after that? Well we haven't stopped teaching about wars in school which were pretty violent. Let's stop teaching our children about WW2, since that was a horrible tragedy and you don't want young minds to be exposed to such violence. Soon you live in a sterilized bubble with armed guards everywhere and everyone packing heat. But hey, at least we preserved America's second amendment rights.
