Why would crime be a matter of self control in the first place (unless we're talking about people with pathological compulsions)? I don't have to leverage any self control to avoid committing a crime.....do you find yourself standing around on the edge of committing crimes, nothing between you and the commission thereof except self control?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Who said anything about absolving killers of guilt?
And, why is it acceptable to blame gay marriage, atheists and video games?

You're a hardcore regressive and a biblethumper to boot. Do you disagree with the regressive and Christian mainstream on this?

I disagree with the regressive left in that I believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman...I believe in God, so I'm certainly at odds with Atheists on matters of faith, (not that I don't find common ground elsewhere with some atheists, like political, social, and fiscal issues),...I'm a Castlevania fan, so I occasionally play a few video games myself....to continually lay blame on everything else but the criminals, (like the regressive left loves to do),...is to absolve them of guilt and personal responsibility....blaming gay marriage, atheism and video games is absolving guilt to the criminal.

People that oppose gay-marriage make me sick. It's sheer discrimination.

I agree!
Although one must make a clear distinction between moral responsibility and explanation- I.e, if someone steals something from a shop, they are bad through and through. The explanation as to why, is for a number of reasons. I just wish intelligent people had more back bone.

Having intelligence and backbone does not mean humans will be kind to each other. Humans go to their deaths all the time "fighting" for all sorts of superstitions they believe to be fact.
There is nothing stopping smart people from dreaming up ways to harm other people. Sell a utopia on a political or religous level, ad credulity and "bravery" and you have instant lemmings. That is not an atheist or theist issue, that is the flaw that leads humans to division.
We do have an evolutionary morality that transcends political and religious labels. "The New Atheism" by Victor Stinger. Read it.
