This article pisses me off. Yes, I think the game is too violent and I don't play it, but to blame it for some abused teenager shooting up his family? I think not.
No where in this article does it mention how the kid got the gun. They do mention the following though:

"But for Posey's use of these products ... he would not have killed," the lawsuit claims.

The game trained him "how to point and shoot a gun in a fashion making him an extraordinarily effective killer without teaching him any of the constraints or responsibilities needed to inhibit such a killing capacity,"

How the fuck did he get the gun?? And yes, I know you can probably get it from a friend or someone else...my point is, the game isn't the problem. The parents probably are. They don't know whats going on with their kids. Society is the problem because this kid was able to get the gun that his video game apparently trained him to use. His family is supposed to teach him the constraints and responsibilities, not entertainment.

I'm rooting for the big guys on this one...
