Joe Biden recently stated that he would support a "Violent Video Game Tax" that would basically do what it sounds like, tax violent video games, and here is why that is an awful idea. First and foremost, I am a gamer myself, along with being a teenager I can personally tell you I have not been affected by violent video games nor have any of my friends. Joe Biden's main reason for this tax is the amount of violence in this nation, such as the Aurora shooting, Sandy Hook, and most recently the Boston Bombings. I think video games have the exact opposite effect, being a a stress reliever for many. And if this is truly the case, why isn't the E3 convention (A gaming convention) not the most volatile place on Earth?
