On a similar note ...
Suppose there was a 24/7 push from the media to blame violent videogames for mass shootings, the government was introducing legislation to ban all "Mature" rated videogames, this ban was being called a ban on "Murder Simulators" by the media, what percentage of people would support this ban if you asked:
Next, as many of you know, yesterday Persident Obama proposed a set of new laws designed to reduce gun violence in the United States. From what you know or have read about this, would you want your representative in congress to vote for or against this proposed new law?
Would you assume positive responses to this were people who thought that Mass Effect was a threat?

Well 87% of parents think violent videogames are a problem so.... chances are it'd probaby end up stronger by itself right now.

but again its largely do to ignorance. most of them probably think a 10 year old child can walk into a store and buy a game like GTA.
I agree that video games can be a problem, but thats why there is a rating system (which parents seem to be ignorant of), little kids shouldnt be playing violent video games, just as little kids shouldnt own, or use without supervision firearms.
