Following the Sandy Hook shootings in December of last year, Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) was quick to introduce the bill S.134: The Violent Content Research Act of 2013. The bill seeks “To arrange for the National Academy of Sciences to study the impact of violent video games and violent video programming on children.” As the proposed legislature moves closer towards a Senate vote, Activision Blizzard has hired one of the largest lobby groups in Washington D.C. to represent its interests, according to the Washington Post.

Well common sense would tell you that and yet that is not the reality. Common sense would also tell you that violence in Video Games are not responsible for school shootings and yet....
