I go with internet and media hype. A messed up person sees the 24/7 media coverage and says ,I can do that. Before the internet, tell me how many mass shootings were there? Instant fame on fakebook, is easy. I am old, we watched westerns 7 days a week.
We played cowboys and Indians,cops and robbers, took your shotgun to school to gun hunting or your .22 to shot rats at the dump. No one did mass shootings. You tell me what is really the problem? Oh, we pledged allegiance to the flag and had to read a bible verse, things have changed for the worse. Demonrats jumping on dead bodies to make money and push agendas would never been tolerated. Nut cases were put in mental hospitals after enough real signs of illness, we can thank politicians for all of it.

Stay tuned for next week, where we will discuss how pornography is causing divorce.

Politicians are always looking for the "easy" answer. Blaming the gun/game is easy...starting a conversation about bad parenting/single parent/mental health/personal responsibility is difficult and won't win you any votes from the sheep.

It all comes down to the evolution of parenting and the nuclear family.

I disagree.

One person mass killing has occured before video games were invented.

Just like there has been a whole lot of catastrophic climate changes for millenniums, before the internal combustion engine was invented,... but these are facts,... nothing the Deep State Demoscats would be willing, or, able to debate!!!

They are part of the problem today. People get addicted to that s***, just like gambling, porn, watching sports or TV in general, they will watch or do that s*** for hours.

In the last few years I worked with a lot of young men who play that s***, most can't sit down and have an intelligent conversation on anything except maybe loud f*** head banging music, if you want to call that crap music.
Maybe the problem is with the people you work with? I frequently encounter articulate, well educated young people.

Parents are not allowed to parent, throw your kid a ass beating and you may go to jail for it. Watched a neighbor go through it when he slapped his kid for lying. 15 months of court hell and lucky his ex was crazy and he got a judge that saw through it. But the kid is home and back to failing school and playing video games. Half the time when I take the dog out at 3am you can still see the flickering light from the kids window as he plays video games on a school night.
My wife works in the family court system. It is absolutely scary how easily you can have your kids taken from you, without a shred of evidence or proof. Scenarios like this (and worse) happen dozens of times a day. Parents are scared to discipline their kids because they know they can be taken away. The state has waaaaay too much power and leverage in these situations, much like Red Flag laws, a very slippery slope.

Part of society problem today? Possibly, but cause of mass killing? No.

Addiction has been around for as long Human lives. Applies to every sort of situation. No different than today.

I don't doubt that these type of fellas are not your type to hang out with, though that's on the parent for how they're raised/turning out.

Maybe that's their way of terraforming a new society. Think about it. They control the schools and what your kids learn
The only thing they can't control is how you raise your kids. But they found a way to do it. They make new laws so it's easier to take your kids away and put them into a home they can control. What a neat trick.
