I somewhat agree. If you look closely, what does the young shooters in Columbine, New Mexico and Sandy Hook have in common. They all loved to play violent video games.

I'm not blaming Video Games 100% here, but you can see their is some effect to it.

Irrelevant.

There have been far worse school shootings in the past when the only video that existed was Pong.

Age is irrelevant. Are you trying to say that only young people play video games or are influenced by them?

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

Again this debate is not about Adults and Video Games. It's about how Video Games effect minors and if you can't see the different then there is nothing to argue about.

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.
