I can think of no case were somebody just got up one day and said lets go shoot people, All the school shooters are rarely ever happy campers, They are usually the disaffected loner or the victim of violence and bullying themselves,The only circumstance besides the tormented individual is the mentally ill as is with Charles Whitman and the VT killer Cho.
There is no proof that removing every last violent video game would end the cycle of school shootings, Since evidence doesn't support the idea that its the trigger factor.
Its really deranged person + lots of guns = Mayhem.
Video games did not exist when Charles whitmen went on his shooting spree in Austin Texas in 1966.
What about all the violence in the old west? Did none existent video games and movies make Billy the Kid do his crimes?
Now for another comparison
