U.S. wants to spend $10 million investigating Video Game violence

In the wake of tragedies like the Sandy Hook shooting, the U.S. government is taking a closer look at, among other things, the causes of violent behavior. Vice President Joe Biden recently met with game developers to discuss the issue of a potential link between violent games and antisocial or criminal behavior. Today, the Obama administration is looking to set aside $10 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to “study the root causes of gun violence, including any relationship to video games and media images.”

This is kind of good, as they may realize that most video games arent causing the violence in most people.
