Yes a unusual news source, but I do love my video games even in my forties. http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/08/22/ct-politician-asks-industry-to-end-nefarious-deals-with-gun-makers

The clowns never stop on trying to regulate everything.

I hear they are going to include with each game mfg after 9/11/13 with an interactive section. It will require you to meet with a psychiatric, prior to being able to go to level 1.

It's the same old song and dance... remember they wanted to hammer down on the video game industry after Columbine... then again following Platte Canyon, and many were blaming VGs after Aurora. It's always the same scapegoats, violent video games, violent movies, rap music, metal music, etc. No one has any responsibility anymore- we always have to blame something else for someone's deviant and evil behavior. [Bang]

What difference does it make that the weapon I shoot in a game is an actual DDm4 or just an M4a1 that looks like a DDm4? So much bull.

I was in AIT when Columbine happened and people in my unit went to the drill sergeants because they thought I was going to be the next person to go off. They said it was because I had tattoos, read D&D books, listened to Manson CD's, played Contra on my Game Boy and worst of all I had a black leather duster which they viewed as a goth trench coat. So they made me go talk to the chaplain twice in a week to see if I was stable. I didn't get a weekend pass for three weeks either even though I met all the requirements.

They can take my Wub-Wub Gun from my cold, dead hands!
