It seems we have no Congressional allies, neither on the Left nor the Right.

Oops, sorry everybody, just killed 23 people with Journey at a high school. I just couldn't help myself, especially after having also played Dark Souls and Civilization V. It was only a matter of time before I exploded like this, why didn't anyone see the signs?

Here is an idea; don't ban guns or video games.  The media and politicians from both sides try to point the blame of these massacres on everything beside the person responsible.

That's really amazing Senator. I own and have used guns my entire life. I have also played video games my entire life. And at no time has a video game made me use a gun in an unsafe way. Gun control is not going to solve gun violence. It is the bad people of this country that we need to get control of. Prisons are filled with people who have committed minor offenses while serious criminals are out on bail awaiting court hearings. Taking away guns from everyone will only allow the criminals to have free reign over everyone. Our government is utterly broken, the divide between people is fueled by the media and their financial backers. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that We The People, We The Average & Willing To Compromise & Looking Out For The Greater Good People, have lost control of our country. Congress will do anything it can to pass the blame onto anyone or anything else. As long as it takes the heat off of them until everyone forgets. Our government is a shell game and The People are always the losers. Get the Money out of Washington D.C. and Real Americans will be able to win elections. I hate both parties equally, so don't take any of my comments in a bias direction.

The stupidity of politicians...

As a resident of Tennessee, I hope everyone understands that this idiot does NOT represent all of us here in Tennessee. I am embarrassed and ashamed for the legislators of my state and I would like to apologize on behalf of the residents of my state that are still sane and not owned by the NRA. (Recently they voted no to Sandy relief as well.) As a gamer myself that has been playing for over 30 years, not once have I ever had a tendency to commit any violence with a gun. And as a matter of fact, I strongly support gun control. So I suppose I am evidence that Mr. Alexander is dead wrong. Thanks for nothing Lamar.

another fucktard in government thinking videogames are the work of satan what else is new. may i point out that the bible has more cathartic violence then any game made every, jsut sayin

What a f*cking idiot.

he is an imbecil..and they wonder why the repus wont be winning any time soon...these people are so far from reality it is amazing how they still breath and breed...

This week just keeps coming with ****y news, doesn't it? But as for now, get this guy fired. NOW!!!!

I guess Hitler played a lot of video games then....

Hey guys, I just played the Sims...

Who wants to join me in a Gang Rape?

(Seriously, politicians are stupid...)

Video games ARE, sir, video games ARE.

Video games are not designed to be weapons. I can't walk into a grocery store and have people tremble beneath my copy of Dark Souls.

Hey, anyone ever see that movie: Equilibrium? Maybe all these jokers would prefer everyone to be doped up on "Prozium" and not feel any emotions. Then we wouldn't have any crime. As long as we have free will.....and crummy mental health care/services and extremely easy access to a mind boggling array of extremely deadly fire arms we'll always have mass shootings. If video games got banned then they'd just go back to blaming rock and roll music and comic books. I guess it's easier to point fingers at something like games rather than investigate the deeper issues involved in these crimes.

So this dung-bag who has probably never played a video game in his life thinks he's qualified to judge the sociological impact that video games may or may not have on the population. Gimme a break. I'm so sick of the out of touch old farts who wiped out our economy, start wars with other countries, constantly bicker over nickel and dime crap instead of doing their job try and hang this mess on video games. Now watch tomorrow he'll issue the same lame worthless public apology the other clown did. What a effin loser, residents of Tenn. get this idiot out of office please.

If you don't like it, send him a politely firm letter that educates him about gaming. I mean, come on guys; there was even a death threat in these comments. The man is THE most bipartisan Republican in the Senate, and he's just trying to do his job. I, for one, am going to go find the rest of that interview. Soundbites often mislead, and the title of this video is...yeah. Suggestive.

Not only are there people who actually think this is true, they are in positions of power. Wow, the human race as a species is ***.

Anything to avoid the real issues.

Video games, movies, books, and television all exist in countries around the world. But only in America do they make people behave violently? Tell me another one, please.

Yeah, like yesterday, my Madden NFL 13 game shot my bro with a gun.
