Seriously? This is now your solution to crime? To ban video games?
I was ensure years ago that video games doesn’t effect gun violence etc.
You can’t make this ■■■■ up. Instead of cracking down and making those responsible do hard time/hard labor they want to ban games?
Funny how libs used our BoR’s to gain power but now wants to close that door now after they achieved that power.

I don’t know that this is a “lib” problem. When a crisis happens, people of all political stripes are all too happy to find a scapegoat. Remember how cons blamed crime on Ice T and Marilyn Manson?

Representative Marcus Evans does not speak for me let alone all libs.
In fact, current evidence shows that he is only speaking for himself. We’ll see if tens of millions of other people line up behind him

You are wrong. Liberals don’t want to ban video games, Marcus C. Evans, Jr. wants to ban video games.

Wait a minute.
Are video games to blame for crime or aren’t they?
Or does it depend?
Remember this? Is Trump a Lib?

No, not whataboutism. Pointing out the fallacy of the OP. Blaming some form of pop culture/entertainment for society’s ills has been a cheap shortcut used by politicians and citizens’ groups on both sides of the aisle, not just “libs”. Using one example of one liberal politician to posit that this is something that only libs do is a weak argument at best.
There were plenty of parents’ groups, both liberal and conservative, in the 1980s who were all too happy to blame Ozzy Osbourne, Twisted Sister, Prince, Madonna, Sheena Easton, and Judas Priest for their children’s violence, drug use, sexual experimentation, and suicide.
Many, many conservatives in the early 90s wanted to blame Ice T and Body Count and their song “Cop Killer” for violence against police.
Republican AND Democrat senators wrote to the owner of Interscope Records after the Columbine shootings to request that Marilyn Manson be dropped from the label, because they assumed that his band’s music inspired the two young mass murderers.

Most definitely blatant whataboutism. No doubt about it.
Funny thing is, the op was pointing out lib hypocrisy.
Man! People get riled up when somebody comes after their Ataris. 
Almost like they were guns and Bibles or something. Bitter clingers.

Whataboutism?
It is appropriate here.
I need it as a judge of the level of outrage/ridicule.
Data points to help me understand when video games are to blame and when they are not.

While there is tons and tons of evidence over the years, that TV and now video game violence does play a role in how children and teen agers perceive violence and how these games affect a child’s perception of their actions against others…The I got shot and killed in the game, so I will just press reset thought process does blurr the reality that getting shot in real life is REAL and Deadly, and Permanent.
This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. LOL Only in Chicago.
