No Mass shootings before violent video games

Editor,

I grew up with guns. I played Pong and Asteroids (Google it). At one time I held the high score on Asteroids. In all my years I never even thought of shooting anyone, let alone numerous innocent victims. I thought Rock’Em Sock’Em robots was brutal. 

I am not a history major, but I can’t recall one mass shooting prior to these violent video games being introduced. Maybe we should look at banning violent video games. Don’t worry about me, I am not sure what the A, B or X buttons do.

Kids, get outside and enjoy nature. Once you hit 40-something you will have plenty of time to sit around and play games.
