Mass shooting at Buffalo supermarket

[hollohas]

What Gman said. Boys have loved pretending to shoot each other since forever. Video games are just the modern version of that. An insignificant number ever bring it beyond pretend. Hell, now we have airsoft which is the most realistic to actual gun fighting we've seen yet. More so than video games. But we don't see a slew of airsofters out committing murder either.

The video this nut ball posted looked like a video game to people who saw it, but not to him. He wasn't living out a video game. The similar visuals were purely obvious to the viewer.

Give me a break, I didn't say video games caused this shooting. I said that the actual video will embolden crazy people. People who actually study these issues say that these videos are bad news and fuel new fires. I simply said that the actual video looks just like the photorealistic video games. I will say though, something is wrong if vicarious, realistic murder through video games is seen as entertainment. Gamers will likely never kill someone, but their soul is being damaged. As a dad, I need to step up and say, "not in my house".

The video game claim again.

Many people play violent video games on a daily basis and don't lose their shit like this guy.

I guess you missed my statement of "for the already mentally deranged". Yes- If they enjoy such games, normal people are able to separate fantasy from reality.

Who would you suggest takes that action? Local, state, federal? Or perhaps a whole new branch of government, tasked with following Internet trolls around in case they act in an illegal manner? And where is that funding coming from?

We would need to live in a police state if everyone thats posts nonsensical garbage on the Internet would be placed under active surveillance.

Oh wait... here you go. Hope this makes you feel safer.

"The legislation specifically calls for the formation of domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI that would be tasked with monitoring and scrutinizing potential terror activity."

I'm sure there is more across all agencies. That took me two minutes. I have a cold and need to walk the dog and prepare for a climate change induced blizzard.

Civil liability for gun manufacturer.

The problem with that is the asshole used a Bushmaster. No sure who they will attempt to hold liable.

I hear Remington would rather settle than go to court.
