WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to meet with video game industry representatives as he considers responses to gun violence after the Florida school shooting that killed 17 people.
The White House says attendees at Thursday’s meeting include representatives of the Entertainment Software Association, the Entertainment Software Rating Board and the Parents Television Council. Others represent the Media Research Center, a video game distributor, a software company, along with the author of a book linking mass killings to violent video games.
Florida’s Republican Sen. Marco Rubio is among the lawmakers expected to attend.
Trump has repeatedly referenced the violence in movies and video games during his public comments about guns and school safety since last month’s Florida shooting. Decades of research have failed to find such a link.
Oh FFS! Yes, let’s create a brand new stream of cash for underground video game developers.
Next up, let’s place the blame on Hollywood. And TV. And the internet. And books. And music.
And people talking with each other. And people of color.
So retro - like everything else we see from Fat Nixon, he’s desperate to go back to his so-called Glory Days of the 80’s and 90’s. Too bad he’s going back a little further than that to full-blown fascism.
I wonder what they’ll tell him. Because you know that whatever they tell him will be his talking points until the next person or group talks to him.
Anybody here have any money? My son-in-law has a great deal for you.
