Should Virtual mass shooter trainers be banned?

I have 500 hours of CounterStrike on my Steam account that makes me a certified expert marksman

As far as I know there was only one Mass shooter set up in any popular 1st person shooter video game. That scene took place in Call of Duty 4,Modern Warfare. In the scene, you were a group of bad Russians that shot up an airport.

Yea, I recall that. I know it fit into the plot well, but it didn't sit well with me at all. I know it wasn't real (duh) but I just had my character walk around and I never fired any shots. Still progressed the plot all the same.

Lol by that logic, most of the September 11th plane hijackers trained on flight simulators, should we ban those as well?

Actually, before that, they were trained by using their index finger and thumb to form the shape of a gun and saying "bang bang ".

I think realistic first person shooters serve to lessen the natural human aversion to homicide.
I believe science backs me up on that.
