I don't think playing an M rated game as a kid will lead to that kid going insane and shooting people. However I still don't think a young kid should be playing M rated games; they're meant for young adults and have content catered to that age group. Often at video game stores you plain can't get one if you're younger than 17, and even if you're older you need to have an ID on you as if you were buying liquor.
Parents often buy games like that for their kids either thinking their kid can handle it, or they just don't pay attention to the big black M on the front of the case. Some of them even come back and blame the cashier or the game makers for ruining their children, even though it was their fault they bought a game meant for young adults. I've never understood that.
