"one of the difficults in linking violent video games to school shootings is that playing violent video games is a normal activity nowadays." "[things like GTA] are now common things"
Also pay attention to the fact that since gaming exploded as a cultural medium, violent crime in the United States has dropped like a rock.

Gaming hasn't been "kid's only" for about 15 years now. Film has everything from easy-going family events to stuff like The Godfather. Gaming is no different. And tread lightly John. Remember this:

Important part quoted at length
"Asked on the air by Geoff Keighley of Spike TV whether she had ever played the game, Ms. Lawrence laughed and said, “No.”
Irate gamers have flooded the page on Amazon.com selling Ms. Lawrence’s most recent book, “The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace With Your Inner Overachiever,” sending its user-generated rating into oblivion.
