This had me kinda pissed off that its in the news...anyone other game, gun owner feel the same. I'm just waiting for the BULLSHIT that follows for more gun control and money for game violence studies.
I'm not getting political, and would like to refrain from such debate if possible.
But this article proves that fox news seems to have gone full retard..

They will never look at the fact that he was 8 and good parenting should have prevented him from playing GTA

Exactly. I would never let my kids play a game that's rated M until I thought they were old enough and of sound mind. Parenting is to blame on this one.

This comes back to good parenting. I mean I wouldn't let my daughter play that game, but she plays Mortal Kombat. She knows that games are not real and that if she did that in real life it would be horrible. I have taught her from the beginning that what she sees on tv, movies, and games is not real. I still shelter her from images that she is too young to see, but I was raised on video games, and while I know they are much more violent than in the good ole days I'm just tired of people blaming the inanimate object and not the person.

Fox News has gone full retarded. As opposed to every other news organization that's running the story, right?

Parental failure, pure and simple.

This reminds me of an old conversation we had way back in the day on the subject of parenting and games. It's not that far off in content from the "Douchebags (http://forums.usmilitarygamers.com/showthread.php?11860-Douchebags)" discussion recently conducted in the Captain's Cabin in regards to racism (and homophobia as well).
