I'm gonna say yes and no.
If you want to take it on more seriously, there HAS been school shootings where violent video games were involved.

no
if you're talking about columbine that wasn't influenced by violent games and there haven't been other ones that were related to video games

[SlayerZ99]

I've been playing them since i was 11 or 12

Sometimes they help release stress but honestly I get angry too

I've always had a bad temper but video games haven't made it worse I've actually imprOved a ton

I tend to get more rage from non-violent games.

Something is telling me Dezcaban is trying to derail the topic.

I think the entire thing is bullstuff. If a child goes on some kind of killing spree because he played GTA IV, it's because the child is extremely handicapped and his parents are terrible parents.

The whole "Violent videogames cause bad behavior in children" stuff was started by a scapegoat campaign so ignorant people who are bad at their job could boycott videogames because they hate fun and they're secretly worshiping the devil

[Zaure]

Also, people tend to get fustrated playing difficult video games, that they get so much rage that they start a killing spree or something, but, it's only a child. Where is he gonna get loaded 9mm?

No, they do not. People do not get mad playing video games and decide that, because they are mad, they will go out on a killing spree. You should really stop spewing stuff you make up off the top of your head without any proof or evidence to back your claims.

I played mohaa when I was around 5 years old, I didn't enjoy the killing but I loved hitting 'targets'

now I like both (hunting)

my dad plays BF3 and halo 3 with me. he actually bought me battlefield 1943 when i was little

I've been playing shooters forever and I can safely say that they haven't turned into a ginger who shoots up a movie theatre.

Little kids have trouble differentiating between what is and isn't real or not real or what is socially acceptable. I would say there should be an age limit on some games, but there already is and the neglectful parents of the kids just let them play it anyways. There should be some kindof competency test before you play a game.
