Vice president Biden downplays the effects of games on violence and says there's "no silver bullet" to stop gun violence
In a meeting with video game industry representatives today, United States Vice President Joseph Biden said there was no "silver bullet" in dealing with gun-related violence. The recent meetings have stemmed from the recent shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Most of the meeting was behind closed doors, but the White House did record a brief statement from the Vice President.
"We know that there's no silver bullet, no seat belt you can put on to assure that we will not be in this circumstance again, but I ask the cabinet to come together - the attorney general, Homeland Security, Department of Education, Health and Human Services, etc. - because we know this is a complex problem," said Biden.
"We know there is no single answer and quite frankly we don't even know whether some of the things people think impact on [gun violence] actually impact on it or not," said Biden.
