Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers are blaming Call of Duty and other video games for recent mass shooting, a distraction from the central issues behind the attacks.
, Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump have returned to a familiar old scapegoat, video games.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick have both cited video games as one of the possible causes of the shooting, rhetoric that Donald Trump himself has now echoed.. “This includes the gruesome and grizzly video games that are now commonplace.”, EA, Activision and Take Two specifically, with Activision Blizzard taking the worst hit, a 6.
Of course, the other half of the equation is access to high powered weaponry, something Republicans do not want to discuss in the least, thanks to the views of their base and their reliance on the support of the NRA. This is why they look for causes, any causes, other than gun laws in the US, including video games, and another recent catch-all, mental health issues, which Trump has also brought up.
“The State’s evidence is not compelling,” Scalia’s opinion reads. “California relies primarily on the research of Dr. Craig Anderson and a few other research psychologists whose studies purport to show a connection between exposure to violent video games and harmful effects on children. These studies have been rejected by every court to consider them, and with good reason: They do not prove that violent video games cause minors to act aggressively .
