"I think video games is a bigger problem than guns" - GOPer Lamar Alexander

[Report1212]

Yes, what is Mario's death toll now?

CHUCK TODD: Can you envision a way of supporting the universal background checks bill?

LAMAR ALEXANDER: Chuck, I'm going to wait and see on all these bills. I think video games is a bigger problems than guns, because video games affect people.

1. I think Lamar is an idiot!

It's not video games, it's not movies, it's the people behind the guns and the guns.

7. Senator Alexander is spewing right-wing dogma which makes the 2nd Amendment sacrosanct,

meaning the right to bear arms can have no limitations, that an individual's other rights are subservient to the right of others to strap assault rifles on their hips.

2. Look, I think video games contribute to a culture of violence ...

... but people like Lamar Alexander who think "video games is a bigger problems than guns" are idiots.

[Uncle Joe]

3. Then shouldn't we be working to stop Iran from getting video games instead of nuclear weapons?

Thanks for the thread, Report.

4. So if I made a video game out of Lamar Alexander voting for background checks

he'd vote for the bill because the video game affected him?

Exactly how many people have done things they didn't want to because of some video game as opposed to say being under the threat of violence from a gun. I've never heard of someone mugging someone in the streets by pointing a video game at them.

You know what I think is a bigger problem than video games or guns... really stupid pointless politicians. They do vastly more harm than anything to society.

5. Bobby Jindal is right- they really are the stupid party.

Video games *ARE* a bigger problem in society. Not is. That should really disqualify the argument right there.

6. I pity us, we elected some of the stupidest people into office

well I did not...but somebody put that idiot GOP mouthpiece in office. It is like a clone army of stupid.

No doubt Hedley Lamarrrrr Alexander gets his news (and all his ideas) from Socknews!

[City Lights]

9. What a stupid man!

These dolts need to think before they open their mouths!

10. I have yet to feel the unstoppable urge to run down the street with my sword......

11. did that old fuck who shot the young latino guy for driving to his home by mistake

a video game player ? which video game made him do what he did ? how about that fuck who killed the bus driver and kidnapped the kid ?

[Berserker]

12. If I'm not mistaken

We had plenty of violence in America long before video games. That statement is as ignorant as blaming everything on guns.
