Interesting point article. The writer makes one statement which is inaccurate though. She/he states something to the effect that there is no evidence that violent media contributed at all to recent school shootings. I have read elsewhere that many of the boys responsible were avid video game fans, that they routinely played target shooting games, and that they had better accuracy than your average law enforcement officer. Any thoughts on this?
