If you find out the answer to those questions then you'll know what and WHO is to blame.

1. no, video games aren't to blame.
2. parents shouldn't be letting their kids play games that aren't meant for kids.
3. parents shouldn't have loaded weapons in their home.
In a word? No.
I find it retarded that these kind of questions and accusations are being thrown around in this day and age. The media (games, TV, movies, music) isn't, has never, and will never be the problem.
