You should have heard the report that was just on Fox news. About a 100% correlation between shoot-'em-up video games and the mass shootings. The "expert" says that the shooters use the games for practice, the mass shootings being in their plans all along.

As it turns out, the military uses specialized video games for training combat troops, as do police SWAT teams.

i have NO DOUBT that violent video games increase aggression....the main difference between them and more passive forms of violent on film and TV is that the person playing the game, takes on the ROLE of aggressor

i remember reading somewhere that there was a student gunman who actually used a violent video to TRAIN for his killing....i don't have the link for it, i may look it up later
