These people were insane from the start, COD shouldn't be at fault here.
But I do agree that in disturbed kids COD acts like a trigger and can bring about the worst in them. I've seen it happen.
What we really should be doing is making sure kids can't play M-rated games. And that the industry tries to stop selling to kids said games. Seriously. These games shouldn't be cater to teens and there should be a better regulation system to make sure that stuff like Gears and COD don't sell to teens.
Of course the vast majority will have no problem with it but it's like gun control. The many people that own a gun and can get it easily might not do anything bad, but there's always those few majorly mental people who will do crazy stuff like shooting up malls.
Same with games like this. Of course the majority of people that play CoD or GTA might not turn into crazed freaks because of them, but there are those insane, troubles teens that become "inspired" by the actions they do is such games and go on a rampage.
Regulation in such games is needed. Stop pandering adult games to teenagers and start regulating these things a little better.
