Well see to me blaming video games is completely different than blaming guns. Playing video games does not require any sort of responsibility and shouldn't require licensing, etc. It is after all just entertainment. Violence has always played a central role in entertainment. Romeo and Juliet for example is an extremely violent play, yet nobody thinks of banning stuff like that. Tools that are specifically designed to kill people should be regulated in any type of civilized society. Heck even countries like Egypt have some sort of ban on guns and they have unsurprisingly a lower murder rate than the US. Maybe I'm going off on a tangent here, but how would you feel if people were allowed to carry swords in malls, schools and in their cars? Wouldn't that make you feel uneasy? It seems dangerous, yet for some reason guns don't?
