As I’ve stated previously, tens of millions of young men play these video games yet do not go out and murder people.

Tens of millions who aren’t psychotic. You can say these games, when consumed by kids with psychotic disorders, don’t have any influence. But you’d be arguing from a position of ideology, not common sense.

So, do you advocate banning video games on the grounds that a few bad apples just might possibly be affected by them?

I surely wouldn’t and I don’t state my opinion from an ideological viewpoint.

Your “logic” would be no different than those who call for banning guns since a few demented individuals use them to commit atrocities regardless of the fact that tens of millions of gun owners are law abiding citizens who don’t run around murdering people.
