If they are serious about addressing our nations "problem with violence" a
good place to start would be ending wars of aggression based on false
pretenses.

I seems some of the games they are so concerned about [Call of Doody, etc.],
imitate (and glorify) REAL violence sponsored by governments. How many
violent games place you in the role of some special military or law
enforcement unit? How much of that violence glorifies acts committed under
the precept of some officially sanctioned (or lawful) duty?

If we have a "problem with violence", i'm not so sure our government is the
best role model or it's representatives the people to turn to for answers.

Lets engage the VP in a discussion about bombs and drones. Lets address the
most violent weapons on earth, the ones capable of quickly destroying whole
populations, then we'll work our way down to guns and video games.
