[In my best Sigmund Freud voice]:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

In my day, the only murder simulator we needed was Doom.

Kids these days, with their CoDs and their PUBGs.... Bah! Humbug!

So rather than impinge on the second amendment we could simply impinge on our freedom of speech. Brilliant solution.

What are these "violent video games" and "movies"? They don't exist outside of United Snowflakes of America - surely, they must be the cause of the gun problem. Rolleyes

I'll bet a lot of #gamergate c*cksuckers right about now are feeling pretty conflicted about their p*ssy-grabbing orange messiah. LOL... Tongue

People have been blaming violent media for society's problems forever . It's just a scapegoat .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
