Gamers are generally desensitized to reality, at least these convention going types.

The Jacksonville Landing "Rules of Conduct" ban concealed handguns on their grounds: "Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property."

How could this be? I mean, they had a written policy and everything!

That's why it happened, not enough people were carrying guns, crossfire would have prevented this.

Gaming is a weird subculture. I know some folks my age into it, but not that many. Our local university has a video gaming team that competes and conventions and such. Very odd to me, but as one person told me, making it a team is the only way you can get those kids to show up for class because too many cuts=kicked off team.

Not much different than something like chess club. I could teach you the deeper strategies of Street Fighter, a game that could be likened to a game of speed chess where even the manual dexterity of placing your piece on the board correctly matters.

The totalitarians are already calling for gun control. Gwen Graham is one of them. Glad they are showing their cards because this will hurt them.
