@GottaLaff People realize Europe has the same 'violent video games' we do, right? It's the guns.

It's. The. Guns.

@GottaLaff

Violent video games have bugger all to do with real world violence.
It's the accessibility to guns that is the problem.

I also remember from the days when I was an RAF cadet. We went into a firing range with SLRs. (Semi-automatics.) To get the gin to fire rapidly all you had to do was hold down the trigger. It wasn't machine gun rate, but it's was still far enough.

@GottaLaff suing gun makers should be the first action in most, if not all of these shootings

Suing meta probably won't go down how they think because there's no actual requirements for Facebook to remove those things, it's all voluntary

Suing Microsoft is just a waste of resources. Not only is the science against them that videogames cause or encourage violence, there's hundreds, if not thousands of other games in the same category and they would have to prove that Microsoft is solely, or at least for the majority part, responsible.

There's also a long precident of both state and federal courts not holding game developers liable for injuries to or caused by people who played the game, mostly stating that there's no link with the individuals decision to actively commit harm to the video games they played

@GottaLaff what about whoever manufactures the Hellfire trigger, a device the shooter used that makes a semi automatic an almost fully automatic weapon?
Why they’re even legal I don’t know.
