This is just poppycock, Obama may be playing into the hands of the NRA here. Why don't we study effects of religion. I suspect more minds have been influenced to kill because of religion than Call of Duty, thanks for playing though.
Honestly, these tragedies are no reason to overreact and reduce freedoms. I don't think there is much evidence that these rampage shootings have precursors in movies and video games. They seem to be related to delusions and mental illness. Look at Lanza, Gabbie Giffords shooter, Virginia Tech, and Holmes, all clearly mentally ill. There was a school shooter named Luke Woodham, very ill. Besides rampage shooters, gun violence occurs in concert with other crimes related to drugs, domestic altercations, etc.
I don't think we should take this film and game link seriously. Of all the gamers, there are so few rampage shooters and probably a small percentage of then are even "gamers." It's hard to take seriously.
