Yeah, but for someone who's already a muderous person, playing violent games only helps brood more of their murderous side. Of course for the rest of the people, it probably doesn't have that same effect, but I'm sure that there are plenty of those idiots out there who are influenced. You realize alot of people are stupid, for example watching a movie and going out to play Russian Roulette for reals, so if you're going to say that video games absolutely do not promote the thought of violence, you're just being biased. Theres going to be those idiots who are influenced by video games and media and they can come in few numbers or large numbers, depending on how popular your particular media is and how the statistics work out.
By the same consistent reasoning, in a similar irony of blaming guns, while it may be absolutely true that guns don't kill people, instead people kill people, the guns are still the tools that they use to kill people and making it a particularly dangerous tool since one has easy access to guns and it is relatively much easier to shoot a man dead than to run up to him and stab him where it will kill him. So the fact that the gun exists and is easy to access these days does do a little bit to help those people who are murderous or blow their head off in a fit of fury to kill people because they can do it very easily.
