School Shootings

SOME mental health professionals say that.

You are misrepresenting the data and the more likely CAUSES of hostile behavior to focus on what is sometimes a symptom of agressive tendencies. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...h-about-violent-video-games-and-kids-part-1-3

Those with aggressive tendencies or anger issues are now drawn to video games where they used to spend their time torturing animals or engaging some other outlet. Most people who play violent video games are perfectly capable of compartmentalizing it just as most who go to gun ranges and shoot paper people are.

Your argument is weak and it undermines your point.

Nice try but your link supports what I have said that it is just one of many factors.
The AMA agrees with me on the subject as evidenced below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"American Medical Association Biography
Position:
Pro to the question "Do Violent Video Games Contribute to Youth Violence?"
Reasoning:
"Children who see a lot of violence are more likely to view violence as an effective way of settling conflicts. Children exposed to violence are more likely to assume that acts of violence are acceptable behavior.

Viewing violence can lead to emotional desensitization towards violence in real life. It can decrease the likelihood that one will take action on behalf of a victim when violence occurs.

Entertainment violence feeds a perception that the world is a violent and mean place. Viewing violence increases fear of becoming a victim of violence, with a resultant increase in self-protective behaviors and a mistrust of others.

Viewing violence may lead to real life violence. Children exposed to violent programming at a young age have a higher tendency for violent and aggressive behavior later in life than children who are not so exposed.

Although less research has been done on the impact of violent interactive entertainment (video games and other interactive media) on young people, preliminary studies indicate that the negative impact may be significantly more severe than that wrought by television, movies, or music." "

Rather interesting that we slap an age appropriate label on videos games, make believe, but indoctrinating our children into our chosen religion has no age restriction and it's equally as dangerous, blood filled, violent and full of make believe.

We should slap an age appropriate label on indoctrinating children with religion.

No, sorry, but then, you do have an interesting sense of "humor".....oh, and he doesn't stalk the people he supposedly has on ignore or the ones he disagrees with...
And she does...now, that's too funny;)

I do have an interesting sense of humor. Thanks. She doesn't stalk any more than you do. I'm surprised you two don't get along better. ;)

OH you should know all about ignorance and intolerance you learned from the best. Speaking of which did you allow your kids to play violent video games? Your GF Angry Bowel says her kids played video games but they are grown and there weren't any truly graphic violent games back then and the ones in the 70 were cartoonish to say the least.

Ever notice the true hypocrites are the ones who claim they were in abusive relationships?

Are you still following your ex-husband's religion? Doesn't the burka get hot?

I do know all about it because I witness it over and over again on this very forum.
 
Just learned that one of my closest friend’s wife committed suicide. She used a gun.

Damn convenient, those guns, huh?
 
I do believe the last two school shootings had armed individuals already there...and they were shot.

Armed teachers better train hard.

It did not. You clearly only read a few sentences deep to confirm your bias and then ignored the rest. You are just looking for a scapegoat.

That sort of faulty logic will eventually turn on guns themselves as any rational person has to agree that they have a greater relation to this issue than video games. But whatever...
