Only a hitman or a gamer would make a headshot

"There exists short-term studies that proves that kids and teenager become more aggressive by playing violent computer- and video-games."
Quote from Birgitta Sellén, a member of the swedish parliament. She's also pitching it to exactly the right guy, Thomas Bodström, whom is already being investigated by swedens constitutional committee, for the raid against The Pirate Bay. On the question about if a new law would be able to solve the problems, she simply replied:
"We can't solve every problem in the world with laws, but it's nice to have something to lean against."
In more news about violent games legislations, both Louisiana and the LA Senate just recently approved of such a bill, that will now be forwarded the governor Kathleen Blanco for final approval before it's legislated.
"Well, didn't you ever play cops and robbers when you was young? My response to that was, yes, we did play cops and robbers, but the game plan was to shoot the robbers, not the robbers shooting the cops and getting all excited, and you know, and thinking about doing it again and again."
