Right, some people shouldn't have guns, some people shouldn't play violent games. But violent games in themselves don't cause direct issues, guns on the other hand do

But the first things to ask where why was an 8 year old playing GTA unsupervised and how did he get a gun. Our first thought should not be to ban GTA

His caretaker was an 80 year old woman. 

Chances are it was his parents gun, or some gun she or her husband owned and was just put away somewhere she hadn't thought about forever and the kid snooped and found it.

 

Or he just got it from a student or another person.  Gun's are pretty easy to get your hands on just about anywhere in the world.

Isn't that kind of a bad thing? I live in the UK, where there are barely any guns, but I still think that it should be difficult for an 8 year old to get guns
