Huey: I don't get this whole thing with video games. Riley: What, you mean why you keep losing? Huey: No. Everyone is worried about kids and violence, right? And kids using guns... So why don't they go after the gun manufacturers and gun dealers instead of people who make video games. It doesn't make sense. Riley: Sure it does. Pretend you're some stupid parent activist person... Who would you rather start beef with - some nerd who makes video games or some punk with a warehouse full of AK-47s? Huey: You know... I'm actually much more impressed by that point than I care to admit... Riley: Of course. I'm deep. Just don't tell nobody.
It’s also worth noting that the NRA spends LOTS of money on lobbyists, and that the people who make video games have no lobby to speak of, so our elected officials don’t lose campaign contributions if they regulate the latter. It’s an easy concession for them to make.
