Where Politics And Video Games Collide

It seems strange to me that, while we are frequently told that the source of the "violence problem" is video games, I've seen very little evidence that suggests that the problem itself exists. Admittedly, some people will kill one another or shoot at police and that's a tragedy. But from the numbers I've seen at the DOJ violence in our nation is going down drastically. Unless we are seeing some sort of sharp rise in juvenile crime or police shootings, why are we so concerned with the "source" or what seems to be a non-existent problem.

While there is always room to improve, I see no compelling reason for government crackdowns on video games, movies, tv shows, guns, knives or any other so-called cause of violence when the "problem" seems to be declining all on its own.
