Being desentized against violence may not turn a "normal" person into to serial killer, but it can make them less sensitive to violent behavior when they see it. Like the New Yorkers who ignore the screams in Central Park or who pass by muggings and rapes and see nothing.
Surely there are other things kids can do other than play violent video games or watch films named "A Bullet to the Head" or "Looper"?

and surely there are other things people can do than sit on the interent. People dont' turn away from screams in Central park because they played video games, they do it because some people don't want to confront the situation. Video games have nothing to do with it. People were doing it 1000 years ago the same as they did yesterday. Many people can sit behind a keyboard or around a water cooler and tell people what they would do if confronted with that situation, but the reality is very few people would actually act. Most just try to avoid it until somebody else acts and when somebody else does, then more will act as well. it's human nature, not a by product of any video game.

The point is parents have to realize they might have a child that WILL be affected by these types of games. And not because they play it once or twice or occasionally. That type of child that can and will react with violence towards strangers does exist, The law lets you own an assault rifle with a fire power no one in their right mind would have a need to use or possess, but it does not excuse your responsibility to notice when repeated, obsessiveness with violence is NOT NORMAL.
I would want to sue any parent or their estate if they were a victim too, because they stupidly and selfishly decided to own an assault rifle in their home, allowing for their mentally unstable child to steal it, so he could go shoot up my school. I would hold the parent equally to blame. And I want the laws to hold the parent equally to blame.
And the laws, they will be changing, oh yes they will.

Ohhh, someone feels empowered by tragedy and public perception about things that won't affect anything. People and their assult rifles, some get boners having one, others get boners trying to take them away. Neither really understading what they're talking about.
There are lost of people everywhere that show repeated behavior that I don't agree with, I have to live with them too. Why do people focus so much time on something that impacts them so little in real life? Most people don't even know somebody that knows somebody, that was the cousin of somebody that knew somebody who's life was impacted by any "assult rifle"

Oh, I know someone impacted by an assault rifle attack on an elementary school. There goes your theory.

Some people who are frequently exposed to street violence tend to ignore it when they see it happening in front of them. They don't necessarily need to be exposed to videos, they see it with their own eyes. They cease to have any empathy for the victims.

I am sure you just called me a liar. That was pretty disgusting considering what you are saying I am supposedly lying about.
