The thing that I hate about him is how he insists on saying these guys 'trained' on Doom. I mean Jesus, I'm not saying the rest of his argument is bulletproof or anything- because, well, it isn't- but that is probably his most laughable point.
I've played a lot of Doom in my time, but I don't think any of it has prepared me for the actual experience of handling a gun. To compare a controller (or a keyboard/mouse combo) to an actual weapon, with the incredible difference in weight, shape and, y'know, the ****ing huge difference in use, is absolutely ridiculous. This man is supposed to be educated! If this kind of moron gets through the education system, becomes a fully qualified lawyer, then wooft, then America is in a pretty bad state.
I suppose you could say I was raised on Video Games. I asked my Mum if it ever bothered her that I played really violent games when I was younger, and she just said she gave me enough credit that I could tell fantasy from reality. After all this time I'd hardly say I'm capable of killing someone.
So I don't think it's just irresponsible parents that cause this problem, and I don't think it's the games developers fault either. People are looking in the wrong place when it comes to placing the blame for violent crimes in general. Video games are just a scapegoat for people like this, because no one wants to fight the bigger problems that we all know are there. Bad parenting, bad education systems, they all contribute to a persons character. Violent movies, TV, or games will only affect you if it's in your character to be affected.
Jacks just trying to make a name for himself, get a bigger bank balance, because he knows people just love to go after the scapegoat as opposed to the real problems, because tackling the real problems is hard.
The answer is never gonne be in censorship, not in a 'free' world. :/
