Donald Trump says he will 'do something' to stop danger of violent video games
US President Donald Trump has said America's legislators must "do something" to tackle the issue of violence in video games. Speaking at a White House meeting of local and state officials on security in the aftermath of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the President criticised gaming culture and the ease with which young people can see films featuring graphic violence and bloodshed. "We have to look at the Internet because a lot of bad things are happening to young kids and young minds and their minds are being formed, and we have to do something about maybe what they're seeing and how they're seeing it," he said. "I'm hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people's thoughts. And you go the further step, and that's the movies. You see these movies, and they're so violent. And yet a kid is able to see the movie if sex isn't involved, but killing is involved, and maybe they have to put a rating system for that."
