Ban the sale of violent video games

If someone plays a lot of a superman video game will they think they can fly?Rebuttal"Violent video games are teaching are kids to be violent. It is a known fact that we learn by repetition. By allowing children to play violent video games it starts to desensitize them at an early age to the effects of violence. These games were originally designed for military training to help soldiers overcome their hesitancy in shooting the enemy."This is simply untrue. Altered versions of doom and America's Army were used to train soldiers in team work not killing."Video Game Violence and Why It Should End Video games these days are now just shooting and killing. Children play these games for entertainment and I know that they are fun, because I play them too. But this is a serious thing. Children do not need to play violent games because games can influence children to do so. People say,"Oh, my son promised to never act like that," or,"Tyler loves these games and he keeps asking for a BB gun". The BB gun may be just for fun, but soon he'll get a real gun."Yes this is sort of correct a person who likes first person shooters may want to get a gun. Please show me how guns increase violence."Violent video games like MWF3 or Call of Duty or Assassins Creed are insults to military men. They're at war, fighting for our country, and you've got your butt on a couch, laughing at people who are getting shot on a video game. This is a serious offense to soldiers. And what if you played these games and someone you love is in the military."Which is why so many "military men" play video games [1] and furthermore why video games are used as PTSD therapy."Those Who voted 'No' are delusional fools. It's plainly obvious, video games make people of all ages agitated and aggressive."As a gamer I have been described as aggressive but I have never been described as agitated."I've seen it in my nephews and niece and there are countless studies available at your finger tips."Where are these studies?"Yes violent video games should be banned!! Police have linked several violent cases to violent video games. For example a 8 year old boy oblivious to the real life fact that if you shot someone in real life they would die and not come back, took out a gun and shot is grandmother. His grandmother did die and did not come back. He is now facing life in prison after juvenile hall of course for something he didn't realize was bad in the first place. Video games pump things into children's heads so bad these days they have no way of knowing the difference between real life and video game life."There is no link for this but it sounds like a case of serious and abnormal delusion not caused by video games.Most of the rest of your argument actually supports me either that or it's simply news reports with no evaluation of the facts.My argumentThe case for the ban of violent video games seems to be based on the assumption that violent video games cause violence whereas in fact the increased use of violent video games has shown to have no noticeable effect on the murder rate [3].Furthermore what is a violent video game? There is no often adhered to definition and I think this causes a problem as it allows for censorship of controversial content.[1] http://uk.ign.com...[2] http://kotaku.com...
