You are all over the place. Quit arguing to argue. SOMETIMES sheer logic and intuitive thought are better than graphs and studies.
Yes or no, do you think that these types of video games have zero negative effects on impressionable minds?

Fun fact: these are, for all intents and purposes, the exact same gun. Yet people are arguing that one of these should be banned or restricted

I'm sure it's been said already and I'm not reading this entire thread, but did it occur to anyone that the solution doesn't have to be completely "restrict guns" or "blame the individual/society/parents/drugs"? It can be approached from both sides to get to a point where these mass killings are not so rampant.
And also, why white people gotta be shooting everyone. FFS.

They have zero effect. Do you know how many copies these games sell? If they had the effect y'all think they have, we'd have 10 school shootings a day. The latest call of duty has sold 10 million copies.

Should drugs be legal then as well? What about speeding in your car? Should prescription drugs be regulated?
Yes, I think narcotics should be legal and regulates.
I think speed limits don’t really do anything other than create another revenue for police. But I see the necessity in some ways.
Yes, all drugs should be legal.

If freedom extends to someone owning weapons that make it extremely easy to kill someone, why not extend other freedoms as well?
I’m fine with extending other freedoms as long as they don’t take away from my own.

Two questions for you.
- Do you think it is visually prejudicial that the top rifle has no magazine in place?
- How easily can the top rifle be converted to auto-fire?

Excellent argument. You've shown your extensive reasoning on the subject and thoroughly convinced me and undoubtedly persuaded many others. Well done.

Yikes. You need to watch a few episodes of intervention. With them illegal we still have an opioid crisis of epic proportions. I shudder to think what would happen if they were legal.

Opiod crisis isn't the fault of having drugs be illegal.

Neither the gun nor the magazine are dangerous w/o a deranged person operating them

So his dad had a temper problem and rather than just explain why he should and shouldn't act a certain way, he uses aggression and anger to parent him?
Can anyone else see why this is a problem? You want to lower violence in children by teaching them that lashing out with aggression when angry, is an acceptable behavior?
That is a learned behavior, it breeds the acceptance of violent behavior through generations...
This is what's wrong with the world today. People actually think like this.
You mean actually using our brains to form complete and logical thought processes?
This is common sense for anyone familiar with child psychology.

You don't KNOW that. It is your impression, just as it is mine that they do have some effect.

You don't know what effect I think they have but regardless, millions smoke cigarettes and not all get cancer so cigs are ok?
