If this Columbine game should be blamed for something, it should be the bad graphics and obviously poor (from the screenshots) pastiche of gameplay styles.
I agree that responsibility ultimately rests with the perpetrator of the act. I also know that there is no reasonable way to set limits on free speech. But I still believe that games of this kind are guilty of far more than bad graphics.

I hate poor pastiche.
