Er.
I'm not going to get into this discussion too heavily, because I always end up getting foamy at the mouth and inarticulate (joke =P ) when I hear people blame "violent video games" for things, but I'm just going to say that you're generalizing, and that's not fair to anyone involved.
Oh, and blaming violence on something like music or video games is a cop-out.

Slightly relevant link concerning the moral character of video gamers:

Gabe and Tycho, who write the internet comic Penny Arcade, organized an online toy drive for the Seattle Children's Hospital. In a month, the community of readers donated hudreds of thousands of dollars worth of toys and $27,000 cash to the hospital. You know, the hospital that HELPS people that get hurt. Not the hospital that kills people.
OK, I'm done.
