And there are more guns than ever...so does that mean they should make more and more of them, thereby reducing the number of homicides? I mean, if they were part of the problem, and using your logic, the numbers shouldnt show the oposite trend. Right?
That would be a ludicrous conclusion.
And im not sure why you are arguing this...the links above are kind of hard to dsipute as to the idea that violent video games have a negative effect on people. Certainly not solely nor even mostly responsible for what we have seen, but again are likely a piece of the puzzle.
Guns are the major part of this, but there are quite literally millions and millions of gun owners who have not and never will use their weapons against other people....as there are millions of those unaffected by video games but others who are.
