The article seemed to assume that all that mattered for purposes of regulation of television and video game violence was whether or not the factual claim of "TV violence causes actual violence" is true. We permit all kinds of activities that increase the risk of injury to others (such as driving, martial arts training, and so on). In some cases, such as alcohol use, we even allow activities that clearly contribute to violence.</blockquote>
