Why are we not having legislation to ban violent movies and video games? After all,they played a major role in Adam Lanza's life,and affected him as much as anything.
There is no link between violence and video games. There is no scientific proof that covers the majority of gamers today that lends credence to the fact that video games causes violence.
I'm a gamer and I've played a lot of violent video games, but I'm also a responsible adult.
Again - there is NO link between video games and violence. It's just something the Main Stream Media loves to harp on because it's a talking point, a hot spot, and nothing more.
I wonder how many people have been beaten to death with game consoles or impaled by game discs or pistol-whipped with Wii controllers.
My girlfriend hit me with the Xbox controller once. So there's one.

What will you do once you are reduced to using sticks to live with and a murder is committed ?
If each murder results in a new ban what have you solved besides banning "stuff" ?
We obviously need to ban hands. People have way too much freedom with hands.
OP: If this was a serious question... No, the video games are tame compared to what you can get in Asia. I have to go online and buy the really violent stuff from Japan and it isn't cheap.
People who compare video games and gun violence obviously need to stop being so redundant about them.
There's even little 8-year olds who play Modern Warfare 3 and they don't end up buying a gun and then shooting people with it. To tap this logic even more, children of ALL ages are legally allowed to play violent games, regardless of the content.
The people who use Grand Auto Theft or any M-rated video game as an excuse to murder someone needs to be whether placed in a mental institution or banned frum ever buying a game. I've been playing M-rated games since I was 13 and anything I do in real life isn't because of a game that isn't real.
Sure, there are some questionable and offensive content in these games but nun of them link to gun violence.

Didn't we used to be a lot more violent and crazy before videogames were invented?
Does no one else have older relatives of their parents who ever tried to lynch one another, stab each other with pitchforks, try to shoot someone who broke their arm and only be stopped by the person in the passenger seat saying, "You're not shooting him in town," or whip their brother with a whip that slices that brother's pants open?
Such things don't seem to happen nowadays.
