oh man nice try but video games will never get banned

[WhoaMan]

how does this become video game news?
so what if she was shot while playing a video game
should be more focused on the kid herself

[phosphor112]

You are tellin me man. I saw this and was like "What does this have to do with games?" and then I read "while playing videogames" *facepalm*. This isn't game news. Keep articles about people dying on Digg. If it were some kid going on a rampage killing people in the name of pacman, that is a gaming story then.

[ChampIDC]

Yeah, it's sad news that it happened, but it doesn't really fit gaming news at all.

although this sux, this is in no way video games fault! she could been sitting with her mom talking or eating or doing homework. this isn't video game news.

[TrevorPhillips]

its not the video games fault its the media they want to find a way to bann video games

[dragonyght]

you see kids videogames are bad (-_-)

[ReTarDedFisHy]

"DON'T PLAY GAMES KIDS
OR YOU'LL BE SHOT! >:("

:/

A childs body heals fasters than an adult, Neurology 101 ;) she will be just fine a kids body is way more elastic the bullet could have just went through she will survive.

And this is Video games news....why exactly??

[Giriath]

I don't see how this has anything to do with videogames. Anyway, I hope Mr. Obama changes some laws about guns, cause this sh*t is what happens when everyone with a little green can get a gun.

[Quickstrike]

There is nothing he can do with gun laws. We have a 2nd Amendment right to have guns.

Besides Chris Rock had it right.
"We need bullet control laws. $5,000 a bullet so when someone get shot you know that person done f***ed up."
something along the lines of that.

[Timesplitter14]

Agreed with both of you. Some things need to be changed because the 2nd amendment is a real nuisance.

Make the bullets cost 15000$ for everyone except the police and military

[TheBand1t]

Banning guns only punishes those people who abide by the law.

Because California has such a low crime rate thanks to strict gun laws.....right?

[Sitdown]

here you go.

Who is willing to bet money that the media (Fox News, CNN, MSNBC) Will blame the games?

[Giriath]

Those damn games, why aren't they banned already?!

[Timesplitter14]

Ok guys I'm sorry and all but that's really friggin ridiculous.

SHE WAS PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AND GOT SHOT. SERIOUSLY.

You think there's a link or something?

[hendersonman]

Guns are not the problems. Its the idiots and the criminals carrying them that is the problem. If you take away the guns, Criminals are still going to get them, then how can you defend yourself when a man breaks into your house and tries to rape your wife at gun point. You going to hit him with a stick, then he is going to shoot you. Not knowing if someone has a gun or not has protected people from criminals. Take that away and see how long it takes for things to go really bad.

[Timesplitter14]

Use the force

No but seriously the problem is that whole gun mentality in the US. Take Canada for example. Almost no one has a gun (or wants one) and the criminality is very VERY low. It's got nothing to do with laws ; it's because of the culture. Changing laws won't do any good. In fact, all it will do is create more criminality with gun contraband. I don't think it's possible to solve this problem in the US unless the president creates a giant brainwashing machine.

[djslapdash]

Damn i told you GTA 4 was too realistic, When you shoot at the screen ur using real bullets. Read the label man.

But really, Hope the girl recovers but dont blame games.
