Hey, I know. Let's have an unbiased debate on keeping violent video games out of the hands of kids. But first, let's start it out with a guest who was in Columbine, faced death, and lost a sister and friends to the killers. That won't taint the debate at all (no offense to that poor kid).

We just need to figure out better ways to identify and help these kids.

And, finally, nobody is arguing that kids should be playing "M" rated games. We're just arguing that it's not up to the government to decide what's appropriate and what's not. The government cannot dictate taste.
