I'm saying young people are easily brainwashed and influenced.

Which is why they need to be disciplined and taught by their parents the difference between Reality and Fantasy.

And I agree with that being a father of three young children. But we can't just ignore that some how these shooters have the one thing in common which is violent Video Games.

So, what is your answer, then?  Censor all games, movies, and music?  The truth is, none of these things make people do anything.  The largest and only real  cause of these tragedies is mental health issues, whether they be genetic or from a poor upbringing.  So, it is ridiculous, as well as ineffectual, to censor EVERYTHING for the masses of law abiding citizens, when it is only an extremely small percentage of society carry out these violent acts.  It's not different than banning chocolate/candy to stop all the obesity related deaths.  Not only would it not be fair to all those who enjoy it responsibly, it would also not work.

Where in any of my post that I mention the word Ban or Censor?
