Why do they keep trying to eliminate guns when they should be banning violent video games?

Almost all these psychos play murderous games which shouldn't be being made or played by anyone. Its inappropriate

Did you fact check this before posting? The research is not clear on the relationship between violent video games and violence. One study even found a cathartic effect, but it was related to the statistical method used. As others have pointed out, other countries don't have the number of mass shootings, but have similar rates of vudeo game use.

I understand that an attempt to ban these games in one State was overturned as being against the first ammendment.

Instead of just looking for an easy fix, people should be looking at the underlying factors that lead to these events; social isolation, lack of empathy, fear of others and in some cases, racism and religious fundamentalism. Start caring for each other more as a country and there might be a reduction in these events.
