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."

I chose boomers because they are older and many don't play video games. Some do. But it's a lot easier to demonize something if it's an unknown, and to younger generations, it's not an unknown because most are young enough to have played video games. A little different from randomly picking gays or muslims, sir. It's not all IDPOL.
