As the saying goes: guns don't kill, criminals kill.
The same principle also applies to video games and aggressive behavior.
I played some gruesome games as a little kid, like Die By The Sword, but I don't go around, hitting people with things and being aggressive towards others.
While this debate does apply to certain individuals, not all people become aggressive even if they grew up with violent video games. It all depends on the individual. Of course, some people will go as far as to ban video games to "protect" kids from this sort of thing, but most people know that video games don't directly cause aggressive behavior. The person is responsible for his own behavior.
