Just a quick statement on guns, video games, and correlation fallacies.

Sometimes I make a Facebook status I'm so proud of that I just have to save it. So, my dear reader, enjoy this little gem of research.

 

Video game spending per capita/year in USA=$40+
Guns per 100 residents in USA=88.8
Gun related murders in USA per 100,000=3.6

Video game spending per capita/year in South Korea=$100+
Guns per 100 residents in South Korea=1.1
Gun related murders in South Korea per 100,000=0.04

If we're concerned about gun violence we either need way less guns...or way more video games! Your choice America!
