Did a 5 year old shoot up a school? No.

Based on this, then, we can see that GMDino beleives that playing a video game has the same effect on a 17-year-old as it would on a 5-year-old.
17 is NOT still a kid. According to multiple organiztions, 17 is old enough to play certain video games and watch certain movies. They are considered by everyone but you to be a different breed apart of "kids". Plus, in one year, they will officially be considered an adult. No, 17 is NOT a kid and things like movies and video games and TV will have a different effect on a 17 year old than it will on a 15 or 13 or 10 or 7 or 5 year old or any other younger-than-17 year old, generally speaking.

He did not specifically say video games.  He blamed a "culture of violence".  Video games like the one he promoted are part of the culture. 

According to YOU.

I'm so sorry I tried to have a discussion with you. I guess you want to be more like Trump: surrounded only by people who agree with you.
