It's the access to guns...period

I grew up playing DOOM as a kid, and Grand Theft Auto as a teen, but all the violence in video games were pure fantasy to me, there was no parallel to real life. I wonder if that would have been different though if I had grown up in a household with a bunch of AR-15's in a display case, or had parents who open carried. When guns are so common in your every day life, it must be a lot easier to imagine yourself doing the shooting in games and movies
