i believe that it may be considered as a serious problem. Becky's post about violence in video games and an influence on people reminds me about the film - 'Elephant'. In USA, after playing computer games with the main objective - killing people, very often these people don't have gun, so they are not dangerous for a player. However, a player with a gun kills them. 'Elephant' is a film about an ordinary day at high school. Two teenagers, after playing computer games full of violence, plan and perform a mass execution of their classmates. They buy guns online, what is very easy. Why?
It seems to be without feeling, shooting people is just a game, except that they are real. At the end, after killing everybody, one boy shoots his friend with whom he was killing.

Do you remember him?
Thirty-two people were shot dead at two locations on the Virginia Tech university campus, at least 30 of them killed by 23-year-old Cho Seung-hui.| Cho Seung-hui, who staged America's worst shooting massacre, has revealed himself as a deeply disturbed individual, obsessed with violence and harbouring profound and unexplained grievances, apparently against his fellow students. |
As we can see, it is not only a fiction in the film, but also the reality...
