    Here you go jackhole:



    "In 2004, of all children 1-4 years old who died, 26% died from drowning (CDC 2006). Fatal drowning remains the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1 to 14 years (CDC 2005)

    U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"

    "
    In 2005, 63 preschoolers were killed by firearms
    U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"

    Honestly it's pretty close to tied just going by the same age range. The exact amount changes every year anyway.

    True stat is violent crime has come down across America for 5 straight years now. So again, violent entertainment causing violence? I think not.

    The evidence continues to pile up against the idea that games contribute to violent behaviour, but the fools just won't let it go.

    Because people want a scapegoat. They want some form of closure, regardless of how irrational it is.

    Now take those numbers, and make an educated guess about what proportion of drownings took place in pools(most of them), and what proportion of shootings were intentional shootings(very few of them), and you see where I was going with that whole tangent.
    It's pointless to start crying "never again!" for these incidents and abridging everyone's freedom, because they're just so exceedingly rare compared to other preventable causes of premature death, and the proposed remedies are a crap shoot at best.
    The weak link in this particular case was the mother's poor judgment. She was so concerned about her son's mental state that she was trying to have him committed, and yet she still kept an arsenal of weapons in their home, when even a single handgun would have been enough for him to do what he did.

    Well, you folks DO realize, that your outrage over being able to play video games that your want is matched 500% by the folks who would like to continue to bear arms correct? I mean, fuck how many drunk driving fatalities have there been in the last 50 years? Should we ban cars? What about fertilizer? I see that isn't banned yet. Do you realize what out government is doing to it's people? All I see on yahoo is what the president is going to being doing about gun controll. Why is that being force fed to us and not anything else on the opposite side of the constitution? You know, the part where it say's " we are allowed to bear arms"

    Maybe if that teacher who threw herself at the assailant (and died) had a Glock in her blouse this wouldn't have happened.

    Grow to fuck up America. See your rights and responsibilities being slowly stripped from you and when the government play's it's cards it's all about what more freedoms should be taken away "so this doesn't happen again" Seriously? It always happens again for fuck sakes, doesn't matter wheather guns or video games are actually the cause. then it will be "Well he wasn'y nurtured as a child" Or he was "depressed" so let's concentrate on what was used to kill his victims and what he watched and played on tv.

    Well, it happened. Violent games and movies have now been blamed....by the NRA.

    A quote I saw somewhere fits this pretty well:

    "Keeping forks away from Rosie O'Donnell wouldn't have stopped her from getting fat, but it wouldn't have hurt either."

    The NRA has zero credibility at this point.

    Is anyone arguing for banning all guns? Most people just want them to be regulated. Since you bring up cars, you know, cars are pretty heavily regulated. Your car has to be registered and you have to pay to re-register it every year, and have a smog inspection every two years. If you privately sell your car to another person, you have to transfer the title over with the state. You're required to have liability insurance in case of an accident. To drive (on public roads), you must get a license, which requires passing both a written and a physical test.

    No one seems to think we're on the verge of banning cars, so why can't we discuss similar regulations for guns without people screaming about guns being banned?

    It's an attack on Christmas!

    Seriously the only people talking about banning them are the people screaming about how people are calling for regulations. It's all bullshit.

    These are mouthpieces who manipulate emotion by the millions every day. Don't let them run their game on you.
