It was as if he was striking back at society because he had so few friends. He will use anything to accomplish his goal. Thats why he picked an elementary school, easy pickings, and not a police station. As soon as he saw signs of the swat team he killed himself. Nobody wants to research banning these games, just the one tool he used. He could have used knives, bombs, gasoline, SUV, etc.
Think back to when we were kids. None of this ever happened. Guns were just as prevalent and so were semi-auto's with the end of WWII. The most violent things we saw was cowboy and gangster movies.

Cuomo on ABC News yesterday or the day before went to his school (elementary I would guess) in Queens, NY to talk about what the kids would like done to stop violence. He then asked them how many of them played video games. Believe that about half of these kids raised their hands. I really do not see violent video games as causing violence.
The Bible is one of the most violent books ever written and much of this violence is condoned by the God(s) in it. I see very few Christians suddenly or slowly becoming violent because of reading the Holy Book.
There are some video games that go way over the top in terms of violence and pornography but these are usually only found through underground sellers.
