in my personal opinion, it all comes down to lack of responsibility. parents buy these games for kids who have no business playing them. some of those kids may very well be mentally unstable to begin with. stores that sell games don't always enforce the content rating system. it doesn't take a genius to realize to don't give Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto to an eight year old who's mother keeps a loaded gun in her bedroom. there's another aren't responsibility issue right there. if you have kids, then keep your firearms where they can't get to them. put them in a safe and memorize the combination instead of writing it down. far too many parents with guns fail to lock them away and these things happen. maybe if they were taught the dangers and responsibilities of guns and weapons at an early age we wouldn't have this problem so much.
