The White House has announced that Trump will be publicly meeting with video game manufacturers on the issue on the issue of gun violence, not the NRA,
Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced during the White House daily briefing, “The president has met with a number of stakeholders, next week he’ll be meeting with members of the video game industry to see what they can do on that front as well. This is going to be an ongoing process and something that we don’t expect to happen overnight. But something that we’re going to continue to be engaged in and continue to look for the best way possible to make sure we’re doing everything we can to protect schools across the country.”

It’s back to the 1990s as Trump blames video games for mass shootings
The White House will blame everyone and everything, but the gun. The killer at Stoneman Douglas High School didn’t use an Xbox to murder 17 people. It wasn’t his easy access to video games that led to the mass shooting. If Trump is going to blame video games, how does he explain the Las Vegas concert shooting that was carried out by a 64-year-old man?
We’ve been down this road before. Assault weapons are the problem. Ease of access to weapons of mass killing is the problem. Video games are not the problem.
Trump is doing everything he can to avoid talking about the role of guns in mass shootings, which is why no one should believe his BS about gun violence.
According to Trump, guns don’t kill people. Video games kill people.
