The Seattle Times - Video-game industry not to blame for gun violence.
Just like any other form of entertainment, there are a vast number of video-game choices. Don’t throw the whole industry under the bus because of a few games that happen to be violent. And even with those games, there is no proof that violent video games lead to violent acts.

[...] why areas in the US with the toughest gun laws already, tend to have the most crime in regards to guns.
Same reason that states with bans on fireworks still have people launching huge illegal fireworks every 4th of July.
So because it's "tougher" to get guns in those areas, people want to kill more with them? Yeah sorry not buying it.
I would imagine it has alot more to do with criminals in those areas have far less fear that someone they assault will have a concealed carry permit and be able to fight back. Criminals tend to think a bit harder in areas where they're not sure someone is going to shoot back or not.
Or are the gun laws tougher because people want to kill each other more, and maybe without those laws there would be more death?
Interesting.
Not sure how looking state-by-state really matters more than country-by-country, given that culture doesn't change much by state, but hey, whatever helps prove your points in your mind and helps you read between whatever lines manage to get through your tin foil hat.
Culture certainly does change in some degrees, perhaps not extremely however. The FBI data does alot to back up the notion that tough gun laws don't really work, which is prolly a tough pill for liberals to swallow. Numbers don't lie, as much as you kick and scream and twist.
By all means continue the cheap comments though.
