Bellringer 4/24

I think that there is no rationality behind the idea that video games sparked this man's violent attack. Even claiming that he got his training from a video game is a ludicrous idea. Learning to press a button in a video game is completely different from loading and firing a real gun. While video games can spark an interest in violence as a young child, a fully grown man should know better, and be able to distinguish between reality and video games. Overall, I think the whole idea of video games causing massive shootings is ridiculous.
