I did all kinds of first-person shooting of my friends with my toy guns long before video games. Didn't turn me into a mass killer.

Maybe the core problem is something else. My parents are still married. For all their flaws, I thank them for giving me a level of certainty in my childhood.

My brothers and I shot each other with bb guns. We had rules and are crack shots. Used heavy cordouroy jackets and football helmets.

Then when paintball came out we went almost every weekend for a. Couple of years.

I got a smoking paintball setup for my birthday two years ago and soon as my shoulder gets better it’s game on, lime Donkey Kong.

See this old TV commercial, I actually remember seeing this as a kid.

When Toys Were Toys And Boys Were Boys

I'd say a culture that actually encourages the horrific murder of infants has much more to worry about than video games... (That said, I do not like those games but don't support banning them)
