If the gun culture in the US is to blame, as many posters here have stated, then how is it that the desensitization, however minor, that happens from repeatedly shooting people in video game, gets a free pass?

If you make guns a common thing, trivializing or glorifying them to youth, and it will have an impact. Not saying it is the sole contributing factor in ANY of these tragedies, but to ignore or dismiss the contribution it can make into solidifying gun culture, would be foolish IMHO.
