Even though you can’t say that video games portraying violence causes people to kill, making successful connections in the game or "winning" causes the nervous system to create endorphins that give the player a sense of pleasure and well-being. In addition, playing the game can become a kind of overwhelming attraction similar to drug addiction.
A false statement was made in this video. Japanese and Korean people don’t play more violent games than people in the US. They play the same games as everyone else, but Japan has more censored games than the US. South Korea also ban games like GTA completely.
From my perspective, the influence in gun violence can also be found in the example set by government and leaders. Ideas like the first strike policy used for the Iraq war and that the end justifies the means. Ideas that a deregulated "free market" is justified for those who will benefit at the expense of others. Also, ideas that vilify a group of individuals because of how they were born or because they are considered by others to be mentally ill but have never committed a serious crime.
i think its the media,what’s the point of having 24 hour coverage of a school shooting,making the the murderer seem like some sort of anti hero and blaming the incident on a possible interest of the murderer?well besides having people overreact so then their tv/newspaper ratings will rise, there is no other reason. in 1974 there was a school shooting in which the book Rage by Stephen King was blamed. and a trend started that usually when media exaggerates these events they occur consecutively.
I honestly don’t think video games are as influential as television. Most kids know games are fake and you can’t do what you do in games in the real world. Give kids that credit.
But shows like Family Guy, with it’s extremist views and cynicism, anti-God policies and degrading a human’s worth by the way they treat Meg can color a kids sense of humor and that can tie into their personality and their view of others. Hence, they think nobody has value- human torture and humiliation is one big gag.

If you believe as the NRA that violent video games are to blame then you have no choice to believe that guns are to blame.
