So what do you suggest?
What about the FACT that those FPS videogames function as MASS-MURDER TRAINING, simulator, rewiring the brain to over-come our native resistance to kill our own species?
You’re right. I should’ve murdered entire armies by now given the number of FPS games I’ve played.
I didn’t. But don’t let that get in your way. March on.

I’m 50 years old. I played D&D since I was 18. I played cRPGs since they were invented. I played FPS games since they were invented. I played MMORPG’s since they were invented. I’ve owned a lot of scary black guns since Reagan was President.
From everything I’ve heard about “reprogramming the brain” for the last 30 years, I should be a mass murderer. Haven’t killed anyone. Not even planning on it. Not even chomping at the bit to “get the revolution started” as many FReepers are.
The problem is: we coddle crazy people, we try to turn boys into girls, and we allow man-hating women to raise boys alone.
What about the FACT that millions of people play them daily and do not kill anyone?
You DO realize FR has a sizable gamer contingent do you not?
Are we all killers in training waiting to snap?
Yes or no because you cannot have it both ways.
There is no such native resistance. It's all cultural conditioning coupled with deterrence created by state-imposed punishments. Animals have been killing other animals over resources and for recreation since before they emerged from the primordial soup.
I suggest the government leave me and mine the hell alone, and the rest of gun-owning America, before they start a civil war and cause hundreds of thousands to die.

We NEED to kill some of our own species! If a man comes after me or my family with a gun or weapon with the intent to harm, I WILL kill him! And I have a God-given right to do so.
People like you need to get real. Banning video games is not going to stop violent criminals. APPLIED VIOLENCE will stop them. If you've never been threatened with real violence, you have NO IDEA what I'm talking about.
What about the "FACT" that the first remotely realistic-looking FPS games were Castle Wolfenstein in 1992, and Doom in 1993?
Yet 1992-1993 is PRECISELY when the high murder rates of the late 70s through the 80s began steeply DROPPING?
Shouldn't the reverse have happened?
Now you're presenting someone's opinion as fact, and we are not only supposed to take you seriously, we are supposed to, on a conservative website, just put aside that whole "limited government power thing.
Unbelievable.
A fact based on what? Its bull hockey. As someone else pointed out, millions of people play FPS yet 99.9999999% never even feel like killing in real life.

Katechon:
#1 I suggest you BAN yourself from FPS shooter games and stick to your sissy easy-bake-oven and leave everyone else alone. Or if you must feel the need to control something....go buy a few "choose your own adventure books" so you can preview the outcomes
#2 When you state something as "FACT" saying it doesn't make it so. Cain didn't kill Abel because he played a FPS game.....he did it out of jealousy and his own personal interest. So much for native resistance to killing our own species since that's how it was in the beginning after The Fall of the human race.....I guess that's also why war is a relatively new thing only invented in the 70s......oh wait.
#3 If you favor banning FPS games - How do I fit into your equation? I've killed actual people and I'm not a big fan of video games or television. I mean you want to ban an object because it may make people think about killing. I've already actually done killing and could care less about your stupid video games. What would you have in store for me with your knee jerk reactions?
