New Reviews

Trump is not the first Republican to point to violent shooting games as responsible in this type of situation. The same has happened with these new shootings, when some members of the Republican party have blamed the Internet or shooting games as the main cause of this type of situation. Although so far, various studies and commissions that exist in this regard, have not found a relationship between these two phenomena.

Playing video games considered violent does not mean an increase in violence. While this does not imply that the gaming industry has nothing to do with these types of problems, such as clearly warning or preventing minors from playing, it is not really the cause in this case.

Although it is common for people like Trump to leave us with statements that seek to put the focus of the problem where it is not. A situation that no longer surprises many, and we continue to see it repeat over and over again.
