Yes, movies, TV and games especially will always be cited as a negative influence on people who go ape$h!t in real life but yet while some of these various forms of entertainment might get gratuitous, it does get unsound if you put ALL the blame on the creators.
The parents should be supervising or at least making sure that their children even know what they're doing while playing the game. And if it's inappropriate for their age group then just make them wait. Just because their friends are playing it doesn't mean they have to just yet.
And if they're still just inmature at the 15 or 16 age minimum, then seek counseling, therapy or keep any dangerous firearm away from them. I just don't see how any of these parents can live with themselves, letting their child grow up in ignorance, hoping that the teachers at school will get that into their head.
They have to play a part and just because they're busy paying the bills and putting food on the table does not give them an excuse to not keep an eye on their young, loved ones (well, assuming they love them).
