"Television program violence? Unbelievable. Video game violence? Unprecedented," he added, criticising Obama for not taking action against violent video game creators which he called "electronic child molesters".
Obama called for new research (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/386917/obama-violent-video-games-should-be-researched-carefully/) into the effects of violent games and media on the young in a recent press conference in which he outlined his agenda for tighter gun laws in US.
The President proposed America should ban automatic weapons, limit magazines to ten bullets, introduce a standardised background check all buyers and increase scrutiny of mental health patients.
