True, only idiots and mentally ill people are influenced and desensitized by this stuff to the point of commiting violence, but even that means that the dramatized violence does more to spur the real violent acts than does an inanimate object like a gun or some fertilizer & diesel fuel. Without the instruction as to how weapons can be used, and the desensitization to their results of thier uses, perhaps there would be less violence. That said, I think everyone should be free to watch what they want, play what they want, and own any gun they want because curbing the freedoms of all in the vain hope of preventing the actions of a few is a path to tyranny.
