You should go join Lamar on his crusade for guns but against joysticks.

If you seriously think that playing games makes you think it's ok to kill someone in real life then there is going to be no sane discussion with you. The only people who have a problem distinguishing games from real life are people who have problems to begin with.

I have been gaming my whole life, I have never hurt or wanted to hurt anyone in "real life". Your premise is ridiculous.
