even if we were to assume violent media and violent action are heavily correlated, it would still be a baseless assumption to conclude that the media is causing the violent impulse.
would it not be a safer assumption that it is already violent people that are seeking out violent media than that violent media is transmogrifying peoples behavior at a base level?
who are those that consume the media we declare most violent?
clearly we must jail all white suburban teen boys.
they are all violent murderers just looking for the opportunity to 360noscope snipe us all!
