Video games...a little scary

At the movie theater, I watched a couple of kids playing a shooting video game in the front—the one where you actually hold the fake gun to get the “bad guys”. If people learn from modeling behavior, it seems that actually copying the action of shooting a gun might not be such a good idea. Video games may not make most kids act more violently, but that one in a 1,ooo just might have the motivation, so the game might make that kid think shooting someone wouldn’t be so crazy.
