     @arstechnica Good luck with that. It's been proven time and again that it's a no-sell on this type of stuff.

     @arstechnica for what I read on the subject it is more related to the advertisement in the game related to the ar15. Also linked to the fact that the company which promote the weapons are creating mailing list of young people and potential customers that they target even knowing they are underage.

     @arstechnica An old argument, dead on arrival. There is no clinical evidence supporting this association. Nearly everyone plays violent games growing up, but most people aren't violent adults. It's a child's argument, the same logic behind thinking rare things give you rare luck.
