(5,412 posts)The simple fact is, as I have pointed out to you before, man has been playing games with weapons and/or derived from warfare or hunting since the first man picked up a rock.
This does not mean that every time someone plays a game using a weapon or that was derived from warfare or hunting that they are contemplating violence.
There are millions of people around the world that play games involving weapons. While some of those people may be playing those games with an eye towards violence, many people play them just for the enjoyment of the game.
There are Olympic games that revolve around weaponry, and you admit that they are not thinking about violence when they compete in their sport. There are millions of people who endeavor to do the exact same thing.
