MrsM and I attended several self defense seminars sponsored by The Buckeye Firearms Association. Great National and International speakers like Mosad Aayoob , Lt Col Dave Grossman, William April, Jimmy Meeks and Carl Chin. Look them up
One very chilling element common to all of them was that electronic games "immunize" certain people to violence. The best soldiers of today played hours and hours and hours of games on their computers or TVs and killed more people (electronically) before they ever got into the military than an entire WWll division killed during the war.
Combine this unique skill-set with mental illness and a false sense of some wrong committed to them, you now have a killing machine that is not bothered by screams, smells, blood and guts.
I'm willing to bet that the El Paso killer was a gamer...
We no longer lock crazies in institutions, they either live on the streets or sit, locked up in their bedrooms eating Cheetos and playing computer games
The violence in the movies has gone way overboard to.

Sure let's shut down video games but promote shooting ranges with human figures as the target for fun!!!!
Violent video games, movies, songs, TV shows, etc., might inspire a person to commit a violent crime but it doesn't cause said person to commit a crime. Outside of coercion or maybe being high, both of which doesn't excuse the act, that person makes a choice to commit the violent act.
I haven't found this to be the case with the kids and their friends. Real life blood and guts would bother them, a lot. Of course, we discuss some of the stuff with him, try and get a reading of his view. I think it is common for the kids to play super violent games and still be soft hearted.
Honestly, I had more concerns about porn and it's impact on him. THAT's always fun to discuss.

This is like Christians blaming heavy metal music for kids committing Suicide in the 80s. If you can’t tell the difference between video games have video game in real life you have mental issues. Of course parents won’t admit that little Tommy/Sally have said issues, until they gun someone down or hurt themselves.
Those games desensitize you to killing. However while this may be a factor as I noted in my first post it's side topic and amy only exacerbate underlying issues. Blaming video games is as absurd as blaming the gun.

The BFA is a Marxist organization in bed with a fellow Marxist outlet known as the NRA.
I suggest some de-programming if you stumbled upon a seminar put on by them.
I personally know 3 of the 5 individuals you named as I've traversed my career in the criminal justice field. If I had to put money on it I'd say all 3 sleep with a poster of Stalin above their bed.
Why not blame rock n roll while you're at it. And twinkies, aka the Dan White defense.
