Has Amazon stopped selling VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES?

Has TWITTER STOPPED ADVERTISING for VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES?

That's karma

Banning guns and de-funding police won't lower crime if you follow the
Democrats Rhetoric. *And their very own Democrat actions confirm* that
even *they believe they're lying* since they're doing the opposite *to*
*reduce any crimes "you" might commit against the Government* that they
control and apparently they *believe guns and fences and police* *will*
*protect* them from your crime and violence. So why won't those same
things protect you from crime and violence?
