The executive vice president of the NRA, Wayne Lapierre, has attempted to make a move on the aftermath of the school shooting by having an armed security officer in every school. Alongside that, he called out against video games and blames not guns, but virtual guns.

Then he shows a ten-year-old game made by some random person as evidence to this violence (Maybe because they want to spark emotional plugs by showing a game version of someone shooting shool kids?

    After tragic events, people need a scapegoat.  It's comical because it usually goes in circles.  I blame you, you blame next guy, he blames me, ad infinitum.

    “There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.”
    -- Herman Melville

    Well, if I could honestly pin the true blame on something, it'd be the news media for pretty much focusing only on the shooter at the school. Because of it, they went over every minute detail of him. Once they find a connection to any game by any means then it will be said just to get people to buy or read the news.
