But what about all the people who play grand theft auto or other violent games and then go out and kill someone.
It's then going to become a problem of people just going out and raping someone because the think its okay.

Do you have news articles showing the multitude of people who play grand theft auto and then actually go out and kill people? (Isolated incidences do not prove a correlation) I would wager the numbers are very low, and almost certainly the number of people who consider rape okay due only to a video game would also be low.
There were two young university students who read Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality, and interpreted it in such a way that they murdered a woman, claiming Nietzsche had taught them murder was acceptable. Should we ban his philosophy because of that?

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
