If you're not linking it to violent games, then what's with the fascist destruction? Oh, and effectively aligning yourselves with the NRA...

The initiative was set up by SounthingtonSOS, a collection of community groups including the YMCA, Chamber of Commerce, local clergy and the fire department, after the community expressed a desire to do something meaningful for Newtown

I expect a few people will take advantage of the $25 offer, which is more than Game would give you on a trade in.

A lot of retail PC games these days come packaged with a Steam key in the box, allowing you to download the game without the disc present, which means that even if the physical medium is damaged by say, scratches or incineration, the game is still playable. This program is easily abusable.

And clearly, the best way of doing that is by offering money to burn them.

The games mind, not the kids. But by the sounds of things, that isn't too far away.

I have to agree, hundreds of millions play violent games and these are only a problem in the US. In Japan where the games and books are even more violent and tens of millions play, they have an almost non existent problem with guns.
