Cases where a person cites a game as having given them a motive to act violently are usually shown that the person has a prior case of mental illness or drug abuse.
If your 7 year old nephew has shown schizophrenic behaviour or is using hard drugs and already has a history of violence then its probably not a good idea.
Otherwise he is probably smart enough to discern reality from fiction.
Even if he is only of average intelligence he would still be capable of using his own imagination to create violent imagery and like most people is capable of not acting on those fantasies.
