Ah, here we go. Another comment on a site was ranting about connections between games that are violent and violent crime being connected. I have come to the conclusion that gamers don't shoot people for real for a number of reasons.

1. Gamers don't like to leave their games/kits/etc for any length of time and a killing spree would be fairly time consuming.

2. Gamers don't really like to go outside unless they really have to or it involves puchasing a new game. Killing sprees would probably need a lot of planning AND possibly prolonged exposure to daylight. That ain't gonna happen.

3. If you shoot real people, you are going to be dead or in jail when the new best game comes out. Gamers missing that? I thnk not.

4. Where is the fun? For real, people would scream, die, blood, police, you get shot, sent to jail, shagged like a pirate for twenty years. In a game, you can kill people all night, stop for a cuppa and a sandwich, phone your friend and call him a pussy, shag your girl and till be able to go back and kill again.

Logic surely prevails.
And I base this on the gamers I know.

Nuff Said.
