“Scraps of meat are flying”: The Federation Council blames “cruel games” for shooting in Kazan

Senator Alexander Bashkin demanded once again to tighten control over “violent computer games”. The reason was the tragic incident in Kazan.

Earlier it became known about the arrest of a 19-year-old malefactor who organized the shooting in the Kazan school No. 175. As a result, several people died, including seven children. Another 16 victims were hospitalized.

IN Rosgvardia confirmed that the shooter had legally acquired the gun. Head of state Vladimir Putin has already instructed to develop new rules for the circulation of weapons.

The young man graduated from the above school four years ago and studied to be a programmer. He was described as a “quiet and non-conflicting” person.

According to preliminary data, before the attack, the shooter started a Telegram channel and published photographs in which he posed in a balaclava, and also talked about the plan to kill the “bio-waste”. On the way to school, he openly walked with a gun and did not hide.

But Bashkin, as expected, blamed “cruel games” for everything. He demanded to extend to them the concept of “desirable and undesirable content”, as well as to tighten control on the Internet.

“In these games, scraps of meat fly, blood splashes fly, continuous violence – for an unformed adolescent psyche, this can be extremely dangerous,” RIA Novosti quoted the parliamentarian as saying.

The senator believes that now it is allegedly impossible to withdraw weapons from civilian circulation. However, he called for the improvement of national legislation.

Note that within the framework of the law on the protection of children from harmful information in Russia, a rating system was created, which also applies to video games. However, for some reason, even the authors of the document forget about its existence.
