I am honestly SO TIRED of this argument. Nobody blames books or movies for creating violence because every living being today is used to them. Video games are getting flak because old morons don't understand them!
Some great videos on the topic: Youtube.com Youtube.com Youtube.com Youtube.com
Also when I saw Fox news and CNN I prepared for some comedy:P Don't get me wrong I agree with them that guns are irrelevant, however blaming video games is stupid. No the root of this problem is the freaking media! They make every idiot that kills someone sound like some super villain from Batman, Iron Man, Far Cry 3, etc.
They make the killer famous and if someone is already thinking wicked thoughts the last thing you want to give them is the sense of live/die and nobody will care, or gun down/stab/mane/etc a bunch of people and the entire media will "praise" them. That is the problem NOT video games. However the media makes money of these killings so they don't want to stop them.
If it weren't for video games, the Hitler wouldn't have committed genocide!... Oh wait, 99.999999999999% of all human violence has taken place before video games were invented. Move along.
They are evil. Imagine all those things you could do if you had more time... Hahahaha
