Ed....I am a democratic voter and a sportsman. I am tired of people blaming human behaviour on inanimate objects. We do not ban automobiles and trucks because because people are killed by them on the road. Several years ago, a woman & her daughter, in a nearby town, were killed and the daughter injured, by a machette wielding, nut-case. No one has asked for the elimination of machettes.
What we are talking about, is mental health issues. When an individual has recognized mental health problems, and is entertained with video games, such as " killing zombies in the mall " and other incredible video games, that entertain the user with all kinds of devastating kill sequences, what do you expect when an individual does not know the difference between fiction & reality.
I have seen cases of single moms, who let their sons & daughters, get all kinds of bizarre videos, so their charges will be entertained. why they leave them alone and do their " own thing ".
