And that's fine, if we are talking about real guns. 

In this case however the player is simply holding a controller pushing buttons and absolutely nothing is happening in real  life as consequence. No real weapons are ever involved. Hardly glorifying.

Also, I don't really want to go personal here, but the Bayonetta avatar sort of agrees with me. 

I don't take issue with violence and guns in video games. I play COD, Resident Evil, Bayonetta.

I'm just suggesting that maybe a portion of the FPS genre's popularity stems from those who do glorify the real thing.
