What's this?

No. Clicking a mouse in no way "trains" killers. I'm aware of no scientific


study that has shown any heightened inclination for violence based on video games.

Correlation =/ causation. When a shooting occurs, it's likely they also have played FPS games based on the sheer numbers of people who play the games. I bet most killers also drive cars. Most shooter games also involve monsters / goofy graphics.

It's scapegoating. Give up on the First Amendment, and ban / highly restrict games, and there will still be mass killings. Then we'll have to find another reason.
