This week President Trump is expected to meet with members of the video game industry to discuss tackling gun violence. But gaming executives say they have yet to receive an invite. New York Magazine's Associate Editor of "Select All" Madison Malone Kircher explains Trump's flip-flopping on gun control reform.

Kircher says studies have shown there is no real connection between violent video games and violent action.
