I say a federal law limiting the amount of play a day per video game console to 2 hours max.

Sorry but I gotta (respectfully) disagree with you on this one. I've been playing shooters since Goldeneye and I don't think I've ever had myself go into a desensitized state. Granted, some people are affected differently by games than others, but does that mean we can limit everyone's play time? And do we start limiting internet access too? Since videos on YouTube could have the same effect. That's a really rough road, and one that I don't want to go down.
At the end of the day, this is a tragic event and I think the people of this country need to take a few days to relax and mourn the losses from today's event. The children and families of those lost come first. We should be respecting them instead of arguing over gun control, video games, etc. RIP to those lost...and thoughts and prayers with the families
