President Donald Trump blames video games for mass shootings [update].

You could read about statements of Dan Patrick and Kevin McCarthy in this AWA topic. President Donald Trump also joined these two politicians, criticizing video games because of the spread of crimes.This isn't the first time President Trump has blamed games for violence.

In his speech he also announced changes in the country's policy, most likely affecting the gaming industry. Details are not known, but it may be censorship of content or restriction of access to video games.

ESA and IGDA organizations responded to these allegations with their own statements. First of all, they once again reminded that there is still no clear evidence linking the increase in crime to the impact of video games. They also pointed, that over 165 million Americans spend time playing games, and billions of people play around the world. And yet, other societies in which gaming is popular not met with the tragic level of violence that is taking place in the US.

It is worth recalling that WHO also hit the gaming industry in some way, pointing to problems with addiction to video games.
In summary - probably preventively gamers will be hit and the madmen will continue to act. Who will they blame then?

UPDATE - experts say there is no real causal link between games like Doom and deadly real-life violence. Very strange reaction of Wallmart to recent events - they hide games, but not the guns.
