They ban video games because it's EASY, video games are convenient bogey-man for older adults who don't play them. AKA Boomers.
"Booga-Booga! Video Games! Now leave our horribly inadequate gun legislation alone, we're making too much money from the gun lobby."
-12 u/Harambeeb Aug 05 '19 What if I told you banning guns is also an easy scapegoat. 46 u/patpowers1995 Aug 05 '19 What if I told you it works. 2 u/Harambeeb Aug 05 '19 What if I told you that increasing social mobility and making the difference between rich and poor smaller works much better for violent crime. 1 u/patpowers1995 Aug 05 '19 I'm all for both of those, I suspect they would help. But bannng guns has been proven to work in other countries. 1 u/Harambeeb Aug 05 '19 Like what, one or two examples? If they tried to do that in America, you'd see civil war part deux electric boogaloo, not going to happen. 1 u/patpowers1995 Aug 05 '19 Please, no American exceptionailsm. We're just another developed country. 1 u/Harambeeb Aug 05 '19 Not American, and no, they are not. They are the lynchpin in how the western world functions and thinking otherwise is naive at best.
