    Too much time shooting in videogames so at some point some of them start wanting to shot real people… Seems plausible.

      Except study after study shows it isn’t the cause.

      Online radicalization is by far the central issue here. It’s one’s peers that are the issue. Violent games are at worst an indicator of tendencies, not a cause.

        Yeah I believe it’s more something like the people who play those games are more likely to kill someone than the game by itself gonna do someone kill.

        It would be good to start making a database of people who buy those types of games and at least offer them some type of therapy and information.

      To be honest, watching news gives one more impetus for wanting to shoot people than playing Call of Duty.
