Obama wants CDC to conduct studies on videogames | Obama quiere que la CDC conduzca studios de videojuegos

[EN]: President Obama announced earlier this morning that he will ask Congress for $10 million to let the Center for Disease Control and scientific agencies do research on “causes & prevention of gun violence, including links to video games, media images and violence.” It is one of many executive orders mainly focused on gun control to reduce violence. Among the most notable executive orders, the President has proposed a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, plus stricter procedures for background checks on all sales of guns.

The National Rifle Association still continues to blame mainstream news media and gaming industries, even though an NRA-approved game was released yesterday for iOS devices originally rated for people 4 years old and up, only a month after the shooting in the Newtown elementary school. The game has been re-rated for users 12 years old and older. Crimes have also decreased in hugh amounts since the early 1990s when videogames were becoming popular. The same can be said in 9 other game markets worldwide where gaming is popular.

Many studies have been done already about gaming and violence proving that there is no evidence that violent videogames are the cause of real-life violence, but that tragic day last month in Newtown has brought the subject back to the limelight again, though the gun industry is facing many more challenges now.

[ES]: El presidente Obama anunció esta mañana que pedirá al Congreso 10 millones de dólares para que el Centro de Control de Enfermedades y agencias científicas realicen investigaciones sobre las “causas y prevención de la violencia armada, incluyendo sus enlaces con los juegos de video,  imágenes de los medios de comunicación y la violencia”. Es una de las muchas órdenes ejecutivas que se centraron principalmente en el control de armas para reducir la violencia. Entre los decretos más notables, el Presidente ha propuesto la prohibición de armas de asalto y revistas de gran capacidad, además de estrictos procedimientos para control de antecedentes para todas las ventas de armas.

La Asociación Nacional de Rifles todavía sigue culpando a los medios de comunicación tradicionales y a las industrias de juegos, a pesar de que un juego aprobado por la NRA (siglas en inglés) fue lanzado ayer para dispositivos iOS originalmente clasificados para personas de 4 años en adelante, sólo un mes después de los disparos en la escuela primaria de Newtown. El juego ha sido re-clasificados para los usuarios de 12 años o mayores. Los crímenes también han disminuido en cantidades hugh desde principios de 1990 cuando los videojuegos se estaban popularizando y no una moda pasajera. Lo mismo se puede decir en 9 mercados de videojuegos a nivel mundial donde los juegos son muy populares.

Muchos estudios se han hecho ya sobre los videojuegos y la violencia que demuestran que no hay pruebas de que los videojuegos violentos son la causa de la violencia en la vida real, pero ese día trágico el mes pasado en Newtown ha llevado al tema de nuevo a primer plano otra vez, aunque la industria de las armas se enfrenta a muchos más retos ahora.
