I'm sure it has desensitized them OZ. The games themselves are not totally to blame though. Parents who let their kids lock themselves in their rooms, and spend hour after hour glued to the screen pretending to slaughter wh**ever enemy they want, should be held libel for the child's actions. There's a whole generation being raised by "Call of Duty" and other violent games, because the parents just want the kids out of their hair. When they allow the same child to get and use a real weapon, they should pay the consequences for anything the child does.
