    I never quite understood the Chicago point you’re making. Other areas don’t have the same issues Chicago (and other urban areas) have despite their more lax laws. Why is Chicago a PUBG map compared to those places? It’s a silly argument to simply blame the places around Chicago to me. There’s more going on, obviously.

    That said, it’s not that videogames are more popular in Chicago I’d reckon.

    I would also point out that the fact that the police screwed the pooch so badly could easily be an argument *for* expanding private firearm ownership, not the opposite as you imply here. Clearly they aren’t doing their job well, and don’t have an obligation to protect you or your children.

    Just some thoughts, been a sub for a while but rarely comment. Feeling frisky today.

    you’ve lost a lot of weight

  3. LastKnown800 on June 6, 2022 at 1:25 pm

    Leftist Rich. Stick to cyber games.

  4. TwistedRoots717 on June 6, 2022 at 1:27 pm

    Rich, I appreciate your stance on all of this.

  5. Brendon Miryr on June 6, 2022 at 1:28 pm

    Do these idiot republicans think the US is the only country with violent video games? Of course they don’t. They’re all bad actors.

  6. Joseph Dizon on June 6, 2022 at 1:28 pm

    Video games are attacked in all spectrums (politicians, conservatives, liberals, grifters, traitors, anons who research current events, etc.). Unfortunately, these people will never stop attacking video games. Most likely, these people never actually played video games. When it comes to gun violence, the key word is the HEGELIAN DIALECTIC! Problem-reaction-solution paradigm that is used to create a problem (shootings happened that led to casualties), cause a reaction (using the media to report the shootings), and propose a solution (taking away people’s guns especially AR-15s and removing the Second Amendment). The ultimate goal of school shootings and any open shootings is to disarm the public and eventually, it will turn people into peasants and serfs that can’t defend themselves when the elites and politicians obtain absolute power. Video games are so easy to blame that the ones doing the blaming don’t usually play video games and their goal is to push an agenda or squeezing extra votes. The blame game, slandering, and name-calling are also popularized by Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, and those are popular tactics mentioned in that book. ReviewTechUSA, great job of presenting the facts. It’s fascinating that the research findings destroy the narratives from video game detractors.

    Aledged shooter. 17 people aledgedly wounded. Our media and politicians constantly lie to us. We don’t need gun reform, we need moral reform.

  8. Erick Romero on June 6, 2022 at 1:29 pm

    If you’d rather give up guns than video games you don’t belong here

  9. Deathangel6 on June 6, 2022 at 1:30 pm

    2nd admimdemnt is "the right to have a Self Regulated Militia" No where does it guarantee the universal right to own a gun of high powered no matter or regardless of the circumstances. It basically means we are allowed to have a military and soldiers are allowed to carry their guns home with them.

  10. cringeylazy on June 6, 2022 at 1:33 pm

    i absolutely love Rich’s genuine passion in his videos on this. It’s a matter that has to be fixed.

  11. Wild Dog on June 6, 2022 at 1:34 pm

    Reviewtech’s going crazy about this. You wanna have a real conversation about gun control, I’m happy to, but I’m not convinced you’re right about gun reform being the answer and you called me an idiot for it.

    That’s not a good faith argument, Rich.

  12. GreenLight on June 6, 2022 at 1:38 pm

    God, these people who blame video games for this stuff sound like crusty old farts that are incoherently mumbling.

  13. BehindTheGame on June 6, 2022 at 1:38 pm

    To be fair, it was only a tiny part of his point. The rest of his point is pretty spot on. Guns have been around for a long time and this didn’t become such a widespread problem until relatively recently. Society changed, that point is very true. Are games themselves to be blamed? Absolutely not. But as a collective whole combined with mentally unstable, drug addicted people.. Well maybe there is an influence there.

    Regulating video games is just as silly as regulating guns. You only punish the law abiding citizens that have done nothing wrong.

  14. K RDP on June 6, 2022 at 1:40 pm

    Law Makers wanna make Assault Riffles and Large Magazines a Felony offense now in the USA

  15. Richter Belmont on June 6, 2022 at 1:40 pm

    Blaming videos games for violent acts is like blaming toy cars for vehicular accidents.

  16. George Thakur on June 6, 2022 at 1:41 pm

    Okay, you just make sure you also get rid of films. What, you think you watch films because you don’t connect with the main character? No more action flicks, bucko.

  17. Russell Mania on June 6, 2022 at 1:43 pm

    Fox News blamed marijuana.

  18. SlackersIndustry on June 6, 2022 at 1:43 pm

    Thats politicians for ya

  19. Rodolfo M on June 6, 2022 at 1:44 pm

    “1 in every 8 billion times someone has a gun and stops a m-ss sh—ting”
    Umm… pretty much is EVERY SINGLE m-ss sh—ting is stopped by a gun. It was the case in Texas, by an off-duty border patrol agent who borrowed a firearm at took action.

    Besides the idiot notion that videogames make people violent (what is this? The 90s again?), Ted Cruz other points are not controversial: there is a pattern of broken families and anti-social behavior regarding m-ss sh—ters.
    Edit: every one claiming that there were 27 school s—tings should look up the data: besides a handful of accidents, the vast majority was gang related. The only case beside Uvalde that included an actual active sh—ter situation was Edmund Burke School.

    ps.: regardless where we stand in policy, I commend you for not naming this monster and giving him notoriety. This attitude should be across the board.

  20. PThrizzle on June 6, 2022 at 1:44 pm

    Not just Chicago but Detroit, New York and LA. Trend there?

  21. PThrizzle on June 6, 2022 at 1:45 pm

    Video games don’t cause evil, Evil exists, always has, always will. We need to be able to protect our family, friends and ourselves. I’d say, the US Government is the most corrupt in the world. Self interested people are in power, something needs to change for sure.

  22. GrilledCheese on June 6, 2022 at 1:46 pm

    Republicans blaming video games for atrocities, same as it ever was

  23. Kobalt_ on June 6, 2022 at 1:50 pm

    You’re not pro 2nd amendment Rich. You don’t have to lie.

  24. Ammo Zilla on June 6, 2022 at 1:50 pm

    Some just can’t accept that they didn’t pay attention to their kids enough and go through denial. Too many have died for something this petty.

  25. Michael quinones on June 6, 2022 at 1:50 pm

    I’m gonna start selling Doormats with Ted Cruz’s name on it.

  26. Slayer Santiago on June 6, 2022 at 1:51 pm

    Ah yes, let’s listen to the 80 year old snot bag explain why v̶i̶d̶e̶o̶ cyber gaming is bad. It’s not like this same exact tired song and dance was done 30 years ago by other, more upstanding and qualified politicians. Ted Cruz should focus less on video games and more on reducing the size of his man boobs.

  27. waeushGaming on June 6, 2022 at 1:52 pm

    Right on Rich!!

  28. BioAlpha on June 6, 2022 at 1:54 pm

    1 million subs

    thinks hes gonna lose the 1 million
    keeps the 1 million

    its cuz your right. and we all know it. gun control now.

  29. IGNI Catulhu94 on June 6, 2022 at 1:56 pm

    I couldn’t say this any better and more accurately. This was on point 👉💯 👈

  30. LastKnown800 on June 6, 2022 at 1:56 pm

    In the clip you showed he said games DESENSIZE people. That’s 100% true. Along with tv, movies, ect. That is not the same as blaming it as the main cause. You’re either incompetent or you’re trying to rile up your fans.

  31. Gaga Dreams on June 6, 2022 at 1:56 pm

    Repugnant republicans are gonna try to take all of your freedoms away except for the 2nd ammendment, wake UP+

    1:20; if you are for gun reform you are not pro-2A a gun is a tool not a object with a will of its own. The guns in Chicago are coming from the surrounding areas. Yes this includes Indiana, but people tried to do this. They went to Indians and bought a cheap rifle and then tried to cross the state line with it, technically you are supposed to have it transferred through an FFL. When a person does something this ridiculous the person is responsible, not the gun or the manufacturer or the gun. I lost my job at Springfield because of the lawsuits that were filed against Springfield for the shooting at Sandy Hook. The politicians that place blame on games are not in the right either. Studies have shown people that play games like GTA have less aggressive tendencies. I am only a minute and a half into this thing. Skipped over it because I knew it was going to filled with BS from both sides and I am also sick of these arguments. I have been a gun owner since I was born and I have been playing games since I was 4 and would never dream of cause UNC someone this kind of harm.
    6:25; this is also a stat by CNN, not exactly a bastion of the truth.
    Also, Cruz is one of my favorite Senators. He gets things done, and he sticks to his guns. He is a Christian man of Putoricuan (spelling) decent. Do I agree with the video game comment no, I do about everything else he said. The first R-rated film I ever watched was Terminator 2 when ai was 7 and my father watched and explained that when this happens in real life, you don’t come back. I did not care about the language or jokes because I did not understand them. The violence and special effects were all I saw. Agian, built my own AR-15, I own 7 guns, ranging from .22 all the way to .30-06, not from my cold dead hands will they take my weapons. And mass shootings account for 3 people injured with an air soft gun…. Geez, get some perspective.

  34. PSYCLOWN185 on June 6, 2022 at 2:03 pm

    These got dang vidja progrums are makin our kids violent !

  35. I hate excessively long and pointless usernames on June 6, 2022 at 2:05 pm

    Rich, are you referring to grifters like Quarter Brainer and Tim Pool?

  36. ParaNovaGaming on June 6, 2022 at 2:05 pm

    Funny thing is all you People acting like you give a crap about these children getting killed in mass shooting yet you turn your back on infants in the womb in the name of woman’s rights are hypocrites. Y’all don’t give anymore craps than the politicians your calling out.

  37. WINTER IS COMING on June 6, 2022 at 2:06 pm

    Psychologic tactics

  38. RAPTOR ZEN on June 6, 2022 at 2:07 pm

    He could have used a sword and killed many with. Chainsaw and many other non gun things. The tool didn’t do the crime. Video games are not to blame either. The solutions are an armed staff at the schools. Armed security and or armed teachers. Or maybe just an armed office/ vault with weapons. Trained staff during summer time…

  39. Sadaniel Guss jr on June 6, 2022 at 2:07 pm

    I knew this would happen. I warned all gamers with the dumb stupid console wars. I told them I said they will start blaming video games again and it’s going to become eventually harder to get them or play them. It may not be now it may not be tomorrow but just like everything else people who are responsible for change will look for a scapegoat to get out the truck there in so something else holds the blame. A new gun regulation would help not banning guns because I believe in the amendment to bear arms. But you got to tell yourself and admit to yourself we are at the boiling point we are at the limit of these mass shooting. A gun regulation and a mental health awareness and help for those.

  40. ParaNovaGaming on June 6, 2022 at 2:09 pm

    I’m glad your not a politician.

  41. GILLETE32 on June 6, 2022 at 2:10 pm

    Why not blame violent movies instead.
    I’m pretty sure a lot of civilians became police officers by watching violent movies since childhood. Example: Police Academy,lol.

  42. Jandaxprss on June 6, 2022 at 2:11 pm

    Ive been playing call of duty since the big red one came out on PS2. I was 8 years old but I Knew right from wrong and I know right from wrong still to this day. The small amount of cases that say gaming causes violence comes from parents not observing their kids and they don’t care what they do from day one. And in which case there’s more going on than just the video games causing people to do things like this. Did you ever think to blame the parents and not the game.

  43. burkehare01 on June 6, 2022 at 2:15 pm

    We don’t have guns here in the UK since we banned them. And guess what we have had zero school shootings. Your right wing Republican politicians must be part of a death cult to not want their children to be safe.

  44. PThrizzle on June 6, 2022 at 2:16 pm

    Respectfully disagree on the gun control issue Rich. It’s not a too many guns problem. It’s a mental health issue. Perhaps a psych eval is needed when buying a gun? Also we MUST protect our kids. You know where all these mass shootings happen? Gun free zones. You want gun free school zones, cool, then armed security must then be provided.

  45. JollyGoodFellow on June 6, 2022 at 2:18 pm

    Common Sense Cartoons made a skit about gun control saying limiting guns wouldn’t help. What do you all think?

  46. SlackersIndustry on June 6, 2022 at 2:20 pm

    There isnt that many killing in schools because guns are not available in the average household, u can only have a gun here if your a cop or military or bad guy thats about it. Even if you could get them like in the USA i doubt there would be as many school shootings as there, but who knows, the only thing certain is Video games have nothing to do with it, much more likely the socks

  47. Rainmaker0102 on June 6, 2022 at 2:20 pm

    Maybe they just need to play more Desert Bus?

  48. BigUltraXCI on June 6, 2022 at 2:21 pm

    Those stats are from CNN. What a joke.

  49. BioAlpha on June 6, 2022 at 2:23 pm

    "video games are the problem"

    so a fake imaginary gun is worse than a real gun is these idiots fucking logic

  50. Rodolfo M on June 6, 2022 at 2:23 pm

    Question: if Chicago has a lot of crime because guns are coming from other states with less gun control laws that border Michigan, then why do these same states much lower crime rates? 🤔
