Why then doesn't society ban all violent computer games because the next American high school mass shooter may be just honing their skills in Counterstrike?
Sure, they are just mentally ill.
How can we differentiate between the mental ones and those just having some fun?
Isn't it safer to ban them all "just in case"?
Well, to begin with you can't "hone" shooting skills with a computer game, they're not even close to the same thing. I was trained by a one-legged Marine I later referred to as "Gunny Miyagi". He had me working on his property all summer just to earn the right to shoot a long gun. When I finally piled up the creds to get some trigger time it was very different from what I was expecting. I started shooting "at or near" beer cans. When I left for the Navy four years later I was aiming for "d" in "Budweiser". Realtime experience with firearms won't come from a controller.
