Walmart Picks Profits over Lives

The absurdity of comparing football to a video game where you control the character that slaughters people is beyond absurd.

I didn't do that - straw man.

continuously subjecting yourself to anything evil makes one desensitized to it. That is just a fact.

No. The Earth revolves around the Sun is a fact. You just stated an opinion.

Once desensitized it becomes easier to accept or at least become complacent about it. Let's not deny reality here.

Yes. After seeing and participating in the actual violence of football, it becomes easier to accept and to be complacent about the direct deaths and injuries caused by football.

Let's not deny reality.

games are scapegoats for gun activists. I wish they backed their claims with theories but that camp probably can’t handle the truth. Christians who spread lies to defend 2A and their imagined scope of the same are deplorables

Don't mistake my beliefs. I do not agree with what you are saying about the second amendment. I don't share your beliefs about rifles and pistols.

I simply don't think one should replace one patsy (ownership of guns) with another patsy (playing "violent" video games).

I also find your choice of avatar name to be somewhat antithetical to an anti-gun belief.

A plurality of mass shooters are black. The USA does not have hospitals for those with mental illness. Combine mental illness with abundant drugs being dumped by Mexicans in the USA and you have a disaster. Then there is just plain criminality and murder. Young men in America are suppressed by Democrats who want to make feminine conformists out of them.

I'm no anti gun, but pro common sense. Too many guns = gun violence of which mass shootings are a subset.

I'm all for regulation. 2A is obsolete as it was meant to protect the citizens from their government. At its core is protectionism of human lives and not guns

Americans have the right to bear arms. Hitler took that right away from the Germans so that they could not overthrow him or defend themselves against the Russians.

Now America has concentration camps so we need guns to remain free because the federales would put us in concentration camps.

El Paso does not have a lot of rugged individualism as in the days of the old west. Most El Pasoans favor a welfare state and government handouts. Mexicans believe in papa government as do most Latinos. The international border attracts the worst of both sides. Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, across the Rio Grande from El Paso, is a city of 2,000,000 people and is considered the most dangerous city in the world. Mexico has a murder epidemic right now and they have strict gun control wherein only the rich can own guns.
... and the drug cartels and the cops

There is no earthly way the 2nd Amendment could ever become obsolete.

The government can become an enemy and guns are necessary to stop a German style gun-confiscating police state as well as provide defense against foreign invasion.

Actually, it has been proven over and over again that widespread gun ownership lowers crime.

With the government now using concentration camps, a gun is necessary to stay out of a concentration camp.

The second amendment is God-given and is not obsolete but is more vital now than ever.

if any of your fake theories were true, there would be a correlation between violent games players and actual violence. There is none
Several of the "mass shooters" played violent video games. The real problem the left does not want to deal with is ADHD meds and it's link to sociopathic behavior. The military recognizes the link.

The Dems want a police state. Chicago has strict gun control and blacks suffer a mass shooter every week because they are sitting ducks. The same in Baltimore. Indianapolis does not have gun control but there are lots of gangs and shootings as in Chicago. They say the best rifle for home defense is the AR15 because it has little recoil so elderly and handicapped can use it easily.
