The violence in GTA is over-rated, to the utmost extreme. Any impact it may have is almost completely made moot by the fact that it's so abstract to really cause any reaction. Things shot at in the game are targets, remember, not living breathing creatures, and if kids know the difference between the two a computer game isn't going to make them forget it.
