Didn't know about his comments on video games, that makes me like him less. I saw several interviews with him discussing foreign policy and he seemed to know what he was talking about in regards to Iran though. Disappointed that he flamed out so quickly and reveled himself to be so gaffe prone he makes Biden look composed.

Democrats aren't much interested in politicians who blame video games for gun violence. This isn't the 90s anymore.

Then how do you explain that basically the only thing the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik did in the entire year before his mass killings was playing video games? No connection whatsoever? And it wasn't just any kind of video game. It was the single most violent there is out there. The combination mental illness and violent video games can be pretty deadly, just as the combination of mental illness and gun possession can be pretty lethal too.

Correlation does not equal causation. Video games in Japan are more violent then in the US and i've never heard of a Japanese school shooting.
