Games dont kill people, people who play games kill people.

On a more serious note, when you intend on finding connections between violence in movies/games and people commiting crimes then obviously you are going to find cases in which this connection can be made, without going into detail to whether the connection actually exists, but then it begs the question, would these crimes not have happened without violence in games and more importantly would these crimes not have happened if it wasnt so relatively easy to get weapons to commit these crimes with. The adult human mind isnt so easily shaken from its morals. When from childhood on a person is taught again and again that lying stealing and murdering is morally wrong, a simple video game is not going to undo that. It is only when a mind is already in an amorale state to begin with, that violent games/movies can influence it into crime. Then again it is the question whether or not this amoral mind would have been able to commit the crimes commited if it had no easy access to weapons, and if it did, then would it not have commited it regardless of whatever violence it was exposed to from any source. There will always be people who have a mindset in which it is ok to take something from someone without realising the consequences for either person but trying to protect these people from ever discovering the existence of violence is futile, it is much more viable to prevent these people from ever getting the means to do harm and let the commen folk like you and me have their fun.
