"The plural of anecdote is not data"... I like that one.

[psychoxs]

Connecting murder with video games is like connecting sleeping with death... "100% of people who sleep tend to die"

[GeorgePet]

What you said is so true that it becomes so sad / I really feel sorry for them too

[danfow]

Thank god a smart one never thought id see the day

[FaceOfSpades]

Or behind logical door number 3 is the option where you blame the person. Imagine that.

[dceasar]

Finally someone has the balls and brains to speak the truth. THANK YOU!

[squishy]

Nice to hear some rational thoughts on the issue. Personally i think the problem is mostly down to u

[TheYelkca]

Yeah, but just go with it. It's better that no flaws are pointed out in her argument.

[EnigmaHood]

I'm not anti-gun, but anti-bad argument. Your argument hinges upon the fact that we don't actively take guns away. If one were to outlaw guns, they would have to take them away or kill anyone that resists. So I suppose yes, only outlaws will have guns if guns are outlawed, but they would either be thrown in prison or killed eventually. I would expect that guns would be cleaned up in America in less than a decade if they were outlawed.

Unfortunate that she was the only person to actually make any sort of relevant explanation the matter.

[krspness]

One of the studies found that subjects who played Mortal Kombat were more likely to give someone who didn't like spicy food more hot sauce than those who didn't. Seriously that was the one of the studies.

[ryuudrako]

And ALOT of people don't realize this...Start crying.

[Maskedbattery]

What I really don't understand in this world is why every problem that happens, someone or something has to be blamed. I personally don't think it's necessary to go into extensive research onto an age old issue, when really the problem lies right in front of their faces.

The fact of the matter is that gun violence exists, and it is going to happen. The only required action is to make stricter gun laws, and leave it at that.
