OK, is this really an issue?

If we are relying on the parenting skills of others for our safety, then we are all doomed&nbsp; <_<

They only reason I don't campaign against violent games here (NZ) is because we have gun control... I haven't seen one in about fourteen years.&nbsp; Anyone here with violent tendencies needs to do more than point-and-click, which is a bit too much exercise for most that spend their days playing violent video games&nbsp; :P

And, yet I see that gun control has done little to stop the violence. I don't want to get into a huge debate over the size of mine versus the size of yours. The US has a larger per capita violence rate, but IMHO it has little to do with video games, or access to weapons. What the crime rates here are related to directly are poverty, domestic violence (mostly by substance abusers), drug use, and gang turf wars over selling drugs.
