Explain that to kids, when you are talking to the Wesley Shaeffers and the Micheal Termeals out there, it really opens their eyes and they become very receptive. Something profoundly different is happening here. If on the other hand, I sit in a video game and instead of interacting with another human being, I shoot and shoot and shoot endless thousands of rounds with no discipline, no interaction with another human being, no repercussions, no ramifications, just a simple set of conditioned responses is being set into me. Tiger cubs, kittens, puppies, bear cubs maul and play and roll at one another. I have done the same kind of play, if you will, that every species does. In the end, what have I done? Well, I have learned about interacting with other human beings. He says, "No, you didn't", and I hit him over the head with my little toy gun. When you play with guns, which a lot of parents don't believe in, understand that it is far less dangerous if I am,for instance, playing guns with Billy. Now, this is totally different than playing, "Bang, bang, I got you". Now they achieve a level, a significant portion of them, achieve a level of understanding that it is not right to play about killing other human beings. They understand that it is not right for them to play with guns. Most of the kids understand how terribly destructive violence is. But what is happening is the mental equivalent of putting an assault rifle in the hands of every child in America.
That is what I testified about in the McVey case. The military and the law enforcement communities around the world use these mechanisms to enable violence with great care and caution.

At some moment down the line, it has a potential to come back out again and it represents a threat to everybody associated with that individual.

You would call the police if you knew he was running around with his own gun and rightfully so.
I talk to them and tell them, "Look, you don't want your friend down the street running around with his own assault rifle. I give them some stories from the Jonesboro shootings that make the horror come alive I talk to them about the case studies that is in my article, 'The Wesley Shaeffer Case', in South Carolina and the way this becomes conditioned. The teachers will say, "That is the first standing ovation we have ever seen them give." What I do is outline to the kids, the tremendous manipulative process that is in play here, the toxic substance. On occasion, on a fairly steady basis, we get standing ovations from High Schools and Junior High Schools. Grossman: I do speaking to High Schools and Junior High Schools. He is going to explain to us why those games teach our children to be killers. Listen to this very, very carefully because it is related to your life, your neighbor's life, and the lives of young people and old alike, who are involved in dangerous, destructive video games.
