I know my opinion doesn't mean much here, but I'm with dasmi and the others who are calling for sense.
I've been playing violent games since I was four. That's fifteen years of violence. From C64's Arnie, to today's Doom 3.
And me? I'm not a violent person. If there's a chance to run from a fight, I'll take it (true, that's more to do with the fact all of the people round here are 'harder' and usually have weapons, but my point stands).
I use these games as a safe way to blow off some steam. I agree that they
shouldn't be in the hands of children, but that is a parental responsibility. The responsible parent would say 'no', instead of taking the games away for everyone.
Although there are few similarities between games and guns, there is a main thing that connects them:
They shouldn't be in the hands of children who would misuse/misunderstand them, but to deny sensible mature people the right to buy them is wrong.
