Hi LEGO

Thanks for the lack of links to back up your points.

Yes certainly there have been violent internet video games since the 1990s.

What are your stats and links to compare 1999 with 2019 video game outcomes? COULD EASY ACCESS TO GUNS ALSO BE A DISTINCLY AMERICAN FACTOR?

Silly us non-extremist OLO commenters - Americans with GUNS in their hands have a greater chance (per capita) of killing themselves (SUICIDE) or killing THIER OWN CHILDREN than PEOPLE from more civilised Western countries.

Here's a link http://everytownresearch.org/gun-violence-america/ as you seem to lack your own.

Cheers

what is often overlooked is that the grievance industry triggers a lot of violence. Everyone is taught that the reason they are a failure is because of evil capitalism or evil white men. Victims feel entitled to shoot up whoever they perceive have stopped them from succeeding. Sad part is that often it is people who have done very well by promoting the grievance industry that escape any scruntity. Family courts, antifa, femminist groups, abc socialist reporters have all had a part to play.

A sage, earlier in this thread, was most correct when he uttered:

"And [hate] even promoted from the pulpit by bible bashing, mendacious, disingenuous...folk claiming to be Christian"

"Genuine Christians tweet others as they would be tweeted."

just happens plantagenet when most Australians attended church you could leave your houses unlocked and have little chance of being bashed. And now with such godless 'wisdom' you espouse few are safe. Facts however never stop god deniers from sprouting their hatred.

Rather than the 2nd Amendment American militia argument of "Guns defending the home" the reality is:
Nearly 2/3rds of gun deaths are suicides:
plantagenet,
I can identify with that. I once spent a day on a tourist bus in NZ & two non-stop yapping Americans almost drove all of us to despair.
I can only imagine what it must be like being amongst them 24/7/365. Any wonder the figure is 2/3 !

I've read credible articles that claim gun crime and suicide rates in armed police forces are roughly equivalent to that of the law-abiding gun owner?

And underlines the fact that the gun is only a safe as the hands that hold it!

If we had a world without guns, the crazies would find something even worse to kill or mass murder with!

I believe that the US army have also experimented with amphetamines and such to desensitize their soldiers?

That said an Ice crazed drug addict with a gun is a mass murder going somewhere to happen and I believe many of these crazies are affected by their drug and alcohol habits and or cravings.

Or have indoctrinated social attitudes inculcated from the cradle

Moreover, on average not very smart people. Bryant,i.e., had an IQ just a few points above an imbecile?
