Games don’t kill people. Guns kill people.

There is zero research out there that concurs with President Trump’s assumptions that game violence = gun violence in America. It’s fake news, people, and has been since it was first brought up in the 1990s.

What’s not a myth, however, is the connection between the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the U.S. senators who block gun reform.

The lobby group is so hell-bent against stricter, common-sense background checks for gun sales that they have spent a sickening $1.6 million lobbying members of Congress in 2019 so far. That’s just a drop in the ocean. Take a look at how many more millions 50 different senators have accepted from the seedy solicitors over the years.

That table of gun reform-blocking politicians was built to accompany a new educational game called “League of Legislators,” created by Juniper Park\TBWA. In the game, players must avoid NRA lobbyists for all their worth, lest they become “corrupted” and add to the root of America’s gun violence epidemic.

You can (and should) play it here.

“League of Legislators” was created for The Brady Plan, an organization that is dedicated to bringing comprehensive gun control solutions to the country. These include things like better background checks, restrictions on weapon accessories that make guns more lethal and increased funding for research.
