If it turns out that videogames make only 1% of gamers more violent (especially lonely, bullied, socially dysfunctional ones), and end up being a decisively contributing factor in 50% of school shootings, should they be regulated?
Again, this is a study showing that mentally healthy people can play video games without becoming mass murderers. At the same time, the study fails to show that the very few potential mass murderers in the population don't show any reaction to violent fps video game exposure.

Don't get me wrong, I am one of the good guys who likes gamers that want to play ALL the games, but meant to ask a serious question: if access to some games should perhaps require an implicit or explicit psychological assessment for vulnerable populations?

It depends, but not much is gained if, for example, the number of suicides increases because therapists are busy assessing the population instead of treating those in need.
