First, Bane weighs in with his thoughts. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that the attorney general probably doesn't know a damn thing about gaming. Mr. Ashcroft made comments linking video games to violence. First of all, I don't buy this whole thing.
Video games are just another scapegoat for people to blame their problems on.
If some kid snaps, takes a gun to school and kills a bunch of people, he did it because he chose to do it. Duke Nukem wasn't holding a gun to his head forcing him to do anything. Hell, if you are going to scapegoat anything, scapegoat the guns the kids use. After all, it's not like they are beating each other over the head with their games. Of course, the fact of the matter is, the whole argument is moot anyway.
