The Seattle Times - Video-game industry not to blame for gun violence.
Just like any other form of entertainment, there are a vast number of video-game choices. Don’t throw the whole industry under the bus because of a few games that happen to be violent. And even with those games, there is no proof that violent video games lead to violent acts.

Now you're changing the goalposts. First you said it was illegal to own, now you're saying you can't buy one. I'll say it again: Rocket launchers, the MLRS included, are perfectly legal for civilians to own. An M1A1 Abrams main battle tank is also legal to own, as is an A-10 Warthog. Can I walk down to S-Mart and buy one during my grocery shopping? No, but that's entirely a different thing to say than 'it's illegal'.
The US Government purchases military weaponry, as the owner of that equipment they have every right to sell, or not sell, to whomever they want. The Queen of England doesn't have to sell me the crown jewels either, but that doesn't make it illegal for me to have them, does it?
I won't engage in a discussion of 'civil applications'. The 2nd amendment isn't about civil applications, it's about resisting a militia/army that has usurped government from the people. Nothing civil about it.
