I think taking away violent video games is more of a punishment to the responsible and sane people out there than taking away responsible people's guns. I love playing violent video games and really enjoy action movies. I will watch those movies or play those games with my 12 and 17 year old nephews without thinking twice. I and my nephews alike all know it's for entertainment and we understand that reality is completely different than what we see on TV. I don't think it desensitizes me. I was fooled into watching a guy commit suicide on youtube a few years back and couldn't sleep for 2 weeks because it was so horrific. People need to understand the difference between entertainment and real life.
