You are the Vice President of the USA. You WON the election. You are the one in power, not us. So why are you tweeting this to us like we have to take further action? What exactly is it further you want us to do? Democrats ARE THE MAJORITY of the US Gov. now, DO SOMETHING!!!

I’ve played tons of video game since I was around 8 years old, yet I’ve never once hold a real gun in my hand, nor I want to go around and shooting people.
The point is, STOP BLAMING VIDEO GAME. If you want the shooting to stop, then MAKE A LAW TO PREVENT THE OWNERSHIP OF GUN. My country (which is in Asia) has this law, and there are literally ZERO shooting like this one. Jesus fking christ.
They play all kinds of video games world wide. Yet it’s only the USA that has this mass shooting problem.
Typical American exceptionalism
Because videogames/music/movies/whatever scapegoat they use next don’t exist anywhere else right?.
They blame a "lack of god" when you’re the one of the most religious countries in the first world. All because a big chunk (not all, i love most americans) of you refuse to see the elephant in the room
If the gaming industry made the same amount of money that the arm industry makes there would’ve been gun reform already
Can someone enlight me on the lore of the chickens?
7:40 > Actual Romanian here, thing is we can’t grab gun, police / army people have them and thas that, I’m sure if you’re clever you can sneak them around, say, if you got them from other countries and you know what you’re doing, but still…
It’s just someone that should have stayed a touch more south then texas and if would have focused on video games instead of shooting kids and his own grandma the world would be a better place
I guess videogames caused the civil war and jack the ripper to kill people.
Sweet! Maybe he can take this time to research about what REALLY kills people and WHO are allowing it instead of working in the game industry. Maybe he can find the solution once he’s aware of the kind of world he is living.
By this logic couldn’t the same be applied to movies and tv shows?

Wonder how long that’ll last.
REMEMBER: Video games are not the only things that can be violent. Movies, TV shows, books, social media, news, etc…can be have violence too. All countries have crazy people, all countries have violent video games, but only America has a gun problem. I wonder why…
When you let criminals to have guns. Surely like this always happen.
I looks like Russ petersen forgot he made violent games and likes them too XD
Post: we need to stop the glorification of guns in video games
Me: what about the glorification of guns in real life, we give toy guns to kids who will occasionally point at people and "shoot" with a smile cause they are playing with a toy that could be seen as desensitization of a potentially dangerous tool
We need something like “Winners Don’t Use Drugs”
“In Games, No One really dies. In real life, death is forever”
or
“Real Guns are No Fun”
Or
“You don’t respawn in real life, nor does anyone else”.
Don’t forget that the cartels get their guns from the US, not video games
agree rich. though to be fair the military does use COD as a recruitment tool and i’ve seen plenty of dummies who want to join to "play cod in real life" .. obv military and war is a lil diff from civilian shooters, but violence nonetheless.
Blaming everything but themselves for failing to take care of the mental health crisis in this country lol. "GUNS BAD" "GAMING BAD" "THIS BAD" "THAT BAD" never "Oh, my bad…"
this monster patiently wait until be 18 to legally get weapons, but to drink alcohol it must be 21. yeah! let´s blame videogames again and again and again and again and again and again….
Does anybody know if the troubled teen even picked up a controller in his life? I don’t remember video games teaching how to Commit suicide either
You gota be 21 years old to buy beer and smokes but only 18 years old to buy a GUN think about that.
These people continue to obfuscate the true root causes of massacres. Which will continue to cause the problem to persist. Until people get tired of politicizing mass murders. Aka standing on the corpses of individuals preaching to the masses like evangelicals.
What is being taught in these schools? Are the kids just crazy or did they learn to become crazy?
Blaming everyone and everything except the person behind the gun. All these mass shooters are definitely mentally ill.
USA: go into gun shop. Show driver’s license. Wait a few minutes. Pay. You sir just bought yourself a gun.
My Country: attend gun classes, pass target shooting exam, get psychological evaluation from a psychiatrist, get background check clearances from police and local government, get gunpowder permit, get a permit to carry a gun, register ownership depending on purpose of owning a gun. Ah f*ck that, almost no one owns a gun here anyway.
US gun culture at its finest.

We need liberal control to fix this issue. But Rich keeps standing in the way. He’s part of the problem, but Rich would have been okay if all of those kids had been aborted.
You can’t compare the US to the UK. I’m British and I’d love to buy a gun for shooting at targets on the range, but getting a licence is almost impossible. And even when you get a licence semi-automatic weapons are illegal, it has to be a bolt action rifle that holds a maximum of two rounds.
There is evidence it effects small children, but, that’s what age ratings are for. And they grow out of it. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure the vast majority of intentional shootings are not done by small children.
Though a large chunk of gun injuries are cause by toddlers. That’s a different discussion altogether.
You know violent gun deaths are everything from accidental to suicide to officer involved shooting and everything in between. Also the number of victims to be considered a "mass shooting " was reduced to gain numbers as "mass shootings" for their agenda on guns. The same agenda you are pushing right here. Blaming the gun is equally as stupid as blaming the game. How bout people start holding the criminals responsible for once and stop punishing your fellow law abiding countrymen while pushing to create more and more victims.
I was actually waiting for a video on your channel sometime soon about some idiot shifting the blame to video games.
Video games are the biggest scape goat for every violent tragedy. There’s scientific proof of absolutely NO correlation . People don’t want to address the real issue because they’re not trying to lose all that campaign money.
Thank you for saying this.
I just have no words anymore, other than "thank goodness I moved to Japan 13 years ago"
the two people’s tweets are wrong.
1. No violent video games are not the cause of the uptick of mass shootings in the US/North America.
2. No guns aren’t responsible for upticks of mass shootings in North America/US.
– as research studies have shown at worst there is NO direct correlation physically,mentally, or behaviorally that playing violent video games transfers to violent crimes in the real world.
– Having firearms or guns doens’t kill people. PEOPLE or more precisely humans decide whether to kill another human. don’t blame the tool someone uses to kill another. Individual mental state aka their mental health as its more commonly called are what individuals are going to act on.
if you take someone who believes they or the world is wrong and wants to correct it in any way possible versus someone who believes the world is unfair and is willing to put in the work to change themselves to better their lives then you have 2 very different outlooks on life.
of these two mental mindsets/mental health choices which do you assume is more likely to commit crimes?
thats right the 1st one. people who legit believe the world is wrong and thus needs to be corrected are way more likely to act on those beliefs usually in a negative manner but to that person its a positive one.
people gotta stop with the same old rhetoric and stop gulping down the blue pilled koolaid. take the red pill and be a realist not an idealist!
tldr: violent videogames nor are guns the reasons for mass shootings in the US/North America its an individual’s mental health/mindset/beliefs.
Same reason as always. People don’t want to admit there will always be crazy people around, for a multitude of societal reasons who will always do this kind of thing regardless of the tool they choose to use. In absence of wanting to admit this, there powers that be look for an easy scapegoat every time such as media
I showed a similar graph on my final project at my school, which compares game revenue and gun violence, and the US was in second for game revenue (between China and Japan) and yet, it still has more deaths than any of the other countries listed. Yeah, there are no comparisons.
This is how the Australian government solved the problem of gun violence after the Port Arthur massacre. The government issued a buy back scheme and sent them to the crusher. watch?v=-ri7rZq2lFo
I always wonder about the whole "Violent video games" argument…
These people know other countries play those games too, right?
Yet in a year our mass shootings is a fraction of what happens in the US per month. So if it really was video games, why does it only seem to affect the US?
Well that’s a bit of self-report, isn’t it? Then again, working at Blizzard for that long will make you crazy.
We have done this stupid dance for hundreds of years of human history. First it was blame literature, then blame movies, them television and it’s been video games for many decades now. Blaming mass media has always been the quick and easy way out and we are still doing it sadly.
Instead of being united and solving this issue. Old farts and clowns points at each other. With no resolution.
Yeah it’s not guns it’s videogames lol
Lets blame everyone and everything but the evil dude who did it. These mass shootings barely happened before the 90s, the second amendment has been around since the countries inception.
Dude channeled his feminine side real hard.
Said feminine side coming in the form of 90’s Hillary Clinton.
I live in Texas. I think it’s funny how they wanna band abortion but they love guns that are used to kill people and children.
Why do people blame video games? Because that’s the perfect scapegoat for their inability to point the finger at themselves. And by that I mean that it’s just easier for them to blame anything that’s not the actual person because then that would make them look bad. Like you said Rich, why doesn’t this happen in other countries? Because not everyone is trigger happy or has the ability to carry around something that could make them so. Of course I’m not and I cannot speak for everyone, to each person who has had a problem in their life that leads them to think shooting up a school is fine their own, but clearly blaming video games for a persons lack of self control with a weapon is weak. As far as I’m concerned the people who say video games make people violent are the ones who feel violent when playing a video game.
Gun free zones are the problem, Rich. Also this line of thinking lead to acid attacks and rapes in England. And a lot of stabbings, too.
