Blame video games for everything??????

Why do these ultra conservatives and wacko lawyers think they can regulate the gaming industry. This Jack Thompson thinks he can bring down Rockstar because some shit stain killed 3 cops and said that he had played GTA:Vice City. Why not blame the gun manufacturer who made the gun? Why not blame his parents? or maybe his enviornment? But ofcourse everyone is missing the real person to blame......THE GUY WHO SHOT THE 3 COPS!!!!!! Now there's a novel idea.
I don't approve of under age kids getting ahold of violent games but all we can do is put in place a system that prevents(most of the time) under age kids from getting their hands on violent games. We have the ESRB in place to give us games and us parents some guidelines to help with ratings decisions. We as parents can test games out before we let our kids play them to see if they are appropriate or not.
Don't blame the companies who make the games. Blame the person who shot 3 people or the guy who shot people on a highway. It's absurd as blaming God because some guy strangled someone with his bare hands and god was the one who made those hands. That is just so absurd. There are obviously chemical and physiological responses that happen when people play games that help them to "get into the flow" of the game, but that is all just part of the whole experience. It's up to the parents to teach their kids right from wrong and that it's just a game. Parents do what they have to do to limit the childrens exposure to violent game. Give them the tools and once they are of age, they will know that the games are there to have fun with, relieve some stress.
I'm an avid videogamer and I love all types of games, but I also know that you don't go out and portray in real life what you just did in the game. I should have that choice to buy that game, to play that game for hours. For years people have been trying to take away those choices, but you know what??? They have failed and will continue to fail. You can't take away a basic freedom for people to make the games and express themselves and you can't take away the freedom for people to buy those games and play them
