Does the NRA blame violent video games?

Yes and for a number of years. Here's an article from 2012 as an example

"Then, on top of lashing out at the President and calls for gun control, LaPierre ripped into the media, calling out specific video game titles,

And here’s another dirty little truth that the media try their best to conceal. There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people. Through vicious, violent video games with names like ‘Bullet Storm,’ ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ ‘Mortal Combat,’ and ‘Splatterhouse.'”

I won't lie, I've had an overwhelming urge to cast Ultima on every God-clown I've seen since I played Final Fantasy VI. It's a sickness.

Because slaughter with revolvers or single-shots is perfectly fine?

Is that what you took away from it? Silly me, I assumed they meant that mass slaughter of children with firearms is OK as long as you're dropping the C-word left, right and centre while you do it.
