In gun debate, video game industry defends itself
WASHINGTON
(AP) -- The video game industry, blamed by some for fostering a culture
of violence, defended its practices Friday at a White House meeting
exploring how to prevent horrific shootings like the recent Connecticut
elementary school massacre.
Vice President Joe
Biden, wrapping up three days of wide-ranging talks on gun violence
prevention, said the meeting was an effort to understand whether the
U.S. was undergoing a "coarsening of our culture."
"I
come to this meeting with no judgment. You all know the judgments other
people have made," Biden said at the opening of a two-hour discussion.
"We're looking for help."
