reasoning used by those he criticizes. And it is subject to the same reasons for dismissing it.
He dismisses violence in entertainment--movies, tv, etc--as leading to mass shootings because only a few exposed to simulated violence actually engage in mass shootings. The same can be said about patients on psychotropic drugs. There are over 50 million people who are on these medications but there aren't that many shootings. You can't jump to that conclusion, either.
