Ted Cruz Blames Violent Video Games for Mass Shootings While Speaking at NRA
Convention
https://tinyurl.com/5d223vv5
The United States has suffered multiple mass shootings this past month. On
May 14, a mass shooting in Buffalo, NY saw 10 people killed by an 18-year-old
gunman whose manifesto suggests that the attack was fueled by white supremacy
and far-right conspiracy theories. Then on May 24, an 18-year-old killed 19
children and two teachers at an elementary school in Texas. These horrific
acts have reignited the debate about gun control in America. Despite this,
the National Rifle Association is hosting its annual convention in Houston,
Texas, where politicians are giving speeches, including Texas senator Ted
Cruz.
During his speech at the NRA convention, Ted Cruz suggested that mass
shootings in the US are a result of issues like people playing violent video
games and not going to church. He said that a combination of those two
factors and others have an impact on young Americans. "Tragedies like the
events of this week are a mirror forcing us to ask hard questions, demanding
that we see where our culture is failing. Looking at broken families, absent
fathers, declining church attendance, social media bullying, violent online
content, desensitizing the act of murder in video games, chronic isolation,
prescription drug and opioid abuse, and their collective effects on the
psyche of young Americans," Cruz said. Those in attendance applauded Cruz
after his remark about video games.
Cruz's comments are not being received well online, especially since the
Texas elementary school shooting happened mere days ago, Cruz is a senator
representing the state, and the NRA convention is taking place in Houston.
It stands to reason that broken families, bullying, and drug abuse could
potentially lead someone to commit an act of violence, but Ted Cruz lumping
video games into the mix is head-scratching when looking at the facts. The
fact is the United States is the only country where mass shootings like this
are a regular problem, yet violent video games are readily available across
the globe. The United States is not the only country that has troubled
individuals who commit heinous crimes, but it is the only one where mass
shootings like this happen at the rate that they do.
Whenever a mass shooting occurs, there are those who attempt to pin the blame
on violent video games. In its reporting after the Buffalo shooting, Fox News
suggested that mass shootings have gotten worse as video games have gotten
more violent, while politicians from both parties have blamed video games for
mass shootings at one point or another.
Numerous studies have been done on a possible connection between video game
violence and real world violence, often showing no direct link.

德州参议员 Ted Cruz 在美国全国步枪协会 (NRA) 大会上演讲指出

本周发生的悲剧事件是一面镜子，使我们不得不提出尖锐的问题去面对我们文化失败之处
。看看那些破碎的家庭、缺席的父亲、下降的教堂出席率、社群媒体霸凌、暴力的线上内
容、对电玩中的谋杀行为无感、长期孤立、处方药与鸦片类药物滥用和及它们对年轻美国
人的集体影响。
NRA支持派的一惯论点....
不太意外就是了。

就是要甩锅 呵

没事 等我们继续怪SJW

哪次不是电玩啦

没错，应该禁止所有游戏。

快禁 我要看美国比中国先禁电玩

在步枪协会检讨电玩 毫不意外

来了，又甩锅给电动了

美国真的悲哀 一边只会把枪击案怪电玩 一边会把电玩弄成各种黑人母猩猩

他又不是只骂电动

好笑的是Ted Cruz是亲近台湾的 ==

这标题也太断章取义了吧........

都改成母猩猩了还要怪喔？

左边的SJW可笑 结果这些右派的保守仔也很可笑

下降的教堂出席率XDDDD

风向也太好带了 = =

不会因为他做这种主张就否定他 但是右派政治人物老是爱把部分原因归咎电玩 真的很受不了

共和党的日常不意外

以后就是带屌黑人母猩猩了 欣慰

不意外。。

垃圾政客

笑死，没那个胆禁枪就只会挑软柿子吃

没钱游说议员的公司就乖乖背锅

对电玩有意见的不分象驴啦 SJW是哪边的先搞清楚

早就枪枝泛滥成灾的社会 禁枪只会爽到坏人啦

可怜哪 ==

这位不是挺台有名的议员之一吗？

电玩虽然被两边同时夹击 但是枪战游戏其实一直都活得好好的 但是角色都被弄坏了 SJW的破坏还是强得太多

正常吧 任何一派走向极端都很可笑阿

教ww堂ww出ww席ww率www

枪枝公司要留者游戏当靶阿,再说他们可以卖授权费给游戏

来囉来囉

好了啦老土德州

这么多原因结果标题只有电玩欸风向都这样带的喔==

德州日常

帮议员平衡一下 他讲很多原因 电玩是其中一个

列那么多例子 就是不把枪枝泛滥列入其中 呵

超译仔喔？

是啊，亚当夏娃被逐出伊甸园也是因为电玩害的

微软跟索尼挺住啊。。。。。。

不怪枪枝管制怪电玩 真的神逻辑

超译

教堂出席率...也只有米国的政治正确体系才有这种老害政治家

不怪电玩就只能怪枪枝，聪明人都知道要怪谁

枪枝泛滥这个事实已成 回头管已经不太可能 大概就像是要台湾把所有违建拆掉一样困难

完全不意外

电玩不杀人，人才会杀人

不禁枪，麻烦提供买枪年龄上限，和严格审核好吗？

在美国枪枝已经不可能禁了啦，当然拿其他理由塘塞

共和党 不意外

讲的好像是暴力电玩其他国没有卖似的

他前几天还说是学校门太多的关系

其实也好啦，代表美国人觉得拥枪权大于小朋友的生命，自己选的啦

其实拥枪与管枪如果推行到某种极致都可以避免校园枪击，只是现实是双方政治能量互相抵销的状况下不上不下最近那个校园枪击后马上就接一个新闻，派对叫人开慢点结果驾驶气到拿枪出来扫射，然后被带枪的宾客击毙

可怜

教堂出席率PogChamp

嗯嗯 那你们禁止电玩看看啊 颗颗

大家都有枪，每天都可以体验街头互射，好不刺激阿以后中国酸美国人出门都要穿防弹衣跟头盔搞不好就会成真了XD

我玩超执刀怎么没有变医生 干

美国禁枪最后就变成犯罪者照样拿黑枪，守法民众手上无枪

教堂出席率 ㄏ

还有校园无枪法案反而让校园变只有犯罪者手上有枪的场所

一般国家就是犯罪者才有黑枪阿，但偏偏只有美国人民有拥枪权会发生血洗校园的惨案

不怎么意外，反正保守派永远不会怪罪枪枝

讲这么多理由就是没讲到最关键的：枪枝泛滥

益全呢？

台湾流右派混乱中XD

又是这咖 可怜哪

把枪=核弹的概念，台湾不也一堆人嚷嚷要拥核的

积恨才会想杀人，枪枝让杀人变得更简单

你说日本没有他讲的这些问题吗？为什么日本治安就这么好？

我记得这两天才看到一个人企图屠杀群众被一个女人直接开枪射死的 如果没有这个有枪的人就是另一桩屠杀

今天美国就不要想禁枪啦，但至少基本的管制要有他们枪枝协会的问题是，连审查枪枝拥有者的精神问题他们都不要

NRA就会跟你说如果所有人都有枪，那凶手掏枪出来就会被正义的路人射死，反正是美国的问题，他们拥枪都跟宪法连结了，这问题估计到下个世纪都不会有解答

大家出门都穿防弹背心跟头盔就不会瞬间被射死了，枪枝团体也可以赚一笔，应该往这个方向推才对

每次都只会讲而已。我倒是很好奇如果真的禁光，失去发泄

学中共来个防沈迷啊 我笑你不敢

来了来了

游戏摇杆真是太可怕了 还是玩步枪安全多了

校园无枪法案1990签署，但除了在校门口挂禁止标示外，老美对如何防止不怀好意的持枪者似乎就毫无办法

智障共和党

不用通电栅栏围起来跟出入口X检查，学生有心要干大事谁拦的住

所以这法案立意虽好，但缺乏吓阻的积极作用这点是有共识

牵涉到利益就会甩锅了

Bey

没错 真枪继续卖

还有很多人都忘了美国持枪的最终目标是为了反政府

可恶的sj...啊啊是共和党啊，那没事了

挺台一元 没事

美国要禁枪就得修宪 没那么简单

反政府个头，现实一点好不好，时空早已不同的借口中的借口就是街头枪太多犯罪太猖獗，枪主要是拿来犯案跟用来自卫有枪拿来自杀的人，比想着公民反抗权的人要多多了

拥枪权在宪法的意义的确是让民间有反抗政府的力量而且美国民兵一直都有 战力也没多差

低能不分国籍

他总不可能在美国全国步枪协会讲都是枪枝开放的错这样他应该走不出大门

Again，不过他要是在步枪协会嘴他们不知道会多几个洞

确实

拥枪右派不意外==
