Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence and Assassination Generation: Video Games, Aggression, and the Psychology of Killing and a vocal critic of violence in video games is on the list of video game industry experts attending President Trump's gun violence meeting today. (This despite the fact that there is no conclusive evidence that suggests violent video games lead to aggression levels any higher than watching Bugs Bunny cartoons.) The Supreme Court has already given video games the same free speech protections as movies and books enjoy. This isn't simply because playing a violent video game will instantly transform your sweet six year old into a killer, but because kids are impressionable. Video games and movies have nothing to do with it.
