[Margaret Pilkington]

I know I will be shouted down on this, but I am convinced that violent video games have something to do with violent actions in everyday life.
Seeing violence, whether that be in video games, or violent films normalises violence...it inures those who are exposed to it.

When I was growing up we played cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians....using our hands to simulate guns...role playing shooting arrows.
But our play did not result in graphic visual images of blood, guts and gore.
In real life, you only have one life.
You cannot have seven shades of sand beaten out of you, die and then use up another life.
