Did there parents ever make a point to teach the kids what's real and what's fake? I can tell you that I do not want to kill anyone, and I play Call of Duty, Halo, and many other "violent videogames". A person who wants to kill someone cause he did it in a game is already crazy from the start, a normal person does not do this.
It's not really about replication, just desensitization.
I agree, it does desensitize but I highly doubt that desensitization is a leading cause in violence. Someone desensitized would have a better grip over a bloody crime scene, but so does someone with a strong stomach.
