Violence in video games and other aspects of pop culture in the U.S. will be among the areas examined as part of an investigation aimed at reducing gun violence in the country.
The investigation, headed by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, has been charged with producing proposals no later than the end of January on legislative action the government could take as it seeks to reduce gun violence. Biden's work comes in reaction to the shocking killing last week of 26 people -- most of them small children -- at a school in Newtown, Connecticut.
"When it comes to cultural matters, that's an area that bears exploration and is one of the areas that the president hopes will be a topic of the conversation that he wants to undertake," said Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, at a televised press briefing on Thursday when asked by a reporter if the study would include pop culture.
