[[Hollyweird was prohibited from puting the crap it does in theaters today and there werent first person shooter video games like there are today. ]]
FPS games have been around for a long time. Over 20 years ago I was playing Quake . It was a hardcore FPS where you hunted people . Everyone wanted the BFG but you could wreak some real havoc with a grenade launcher .Team Fortress has to be almost 20 years old now too. The difference between now and 20 years ago is that it was rare to find kids on all this mind bending medication where suicide is listed as a side effect (suicide to murder in an angry person is a hop skip and jump )
Also when kids behaved badly 20 years ago they locked them up.
So true.
It is not just one thing, it is a multifactorial or combination of things. Broken families are also Involved and I’m not suggesting every kid that plays the violence promoting games is going to be similarly affected. Guns were actually more accessible when I was a kid in the 60s. During hunting season, they were often brought to HS. I had my own rifle and revolver from the time I was 14. No one ever talked about shooting anyone.
