So what is the problem? You don't think if we had a culture more averse to violence and less access to firearms shootings would drop? I'm a firearm owner, but I'm not so blinded by politics to make the connection that little Johnny isn't gonna shoot up his class if he can't sneak the gun out of his dad's closet. I'm also not making the case that violent video games cause violence, but that we're so casual about it in our society that folks become a bit more willing to do harm. Some folks hear voices in their head, some folks are just filled with hatred for their fellow man. Writing everyone who has committed a crime of that degree off as crazy does neither the mentally ill nor our ability to understand them any good.
