Don't blame video games for El Paso, Dayton shootings. Leaders like Trump must face facts.
You won't find violent video game displays at Walmart anymore. Late last week the company announced it is removing them from stores. This came after President Donald Trump, commenting on the Dayton and El Paso shootings, complained from the White House about "gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace" and surround troubled youth with a culture that celebrates violence. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, meanwhile, told Fox News he has always felt violent games present "a problem for future generations and others." Would someone please point out to our leaders -- neither of whom cited actual evidence -- that they are more than a decade behind the scientific consensus?
