[quote:Anonymous Coward 18401048:MV8yMDg0MjY2XzM1MDk1NDQ1XzMyRkU2QTk0] i'll catch alot of crap for this but..... i think the arguement is valid enough to start a serious discussion about video games with realistic killing scenerios. anyone old or mature enough and of sound mind can obviously play these sorts of games without being affected by it. but unsupervised children and people with mental disorders shouldnt be playing this games. i think the fault and responsibility lies with the parents on this one.

Violent video games and a "culture of violence" found in the media could be contributing factors to mass shootings, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said Sunday.
"There might well be some direct connection between people who have some mental instability and when they go over the edge - they transport themselves, they become part of one of those video games," Hickenlooper said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Perhaps that's why all these assault weapons are used."
The Democratic governor argued that some gun regulations need to be tweaked but said more immediate changes can take place by targeting mental health.
