It is far more rational to suppose that exposure to simulated violence in video games and movies could predispose a person to be violent than to think an inanimate object has a psychological influence on a person. After all operant conditioning does work and completing or even viewing an action thousands of times for a reward repetitively does constitute conditioning.
The army uses video games to condition soldiers, pilots etc to combat situations so you can't say this isn't true.

Indy, you know just as well as I do that sometimes those laws are multi-faceted and have a bunch of things they don't like, and when they come out not in favor of it, they get labeled.
Like when congress puts in huge military spending into a children's health bill, and when a Democrat votes no, they're labeled anti-children's health.
So before I judge, I'd want to see the laws the NRA refused to support, just to be fair.
