Blaming video games for violent/abnormal behavior is just another way for people to become a victim rather than have to take responsibility for their actions. It has nothing to do with the actual product at all.

Violence has been happening for thousands of years way before guns,music,movies,video games etc. It's just that NOW we hear more about it because the criminal screams that he/she is a victim themselves because of these horrible horrible products.

Politicians are basically lazy and this is an easy way to garner support from a "victim" obsessed culture. It also provides a way for the whack-jobs out there to become rich off their actions by being able to sue.

If those responsible would admit to their failings and shortcomings rather than having to constantly shift the blame to other sources, we would never hear any of this.
