Mass murder at schools shot up after the federal gun bans were passed.

Mass murder at schools shot up (no pun intended?) after video games like Doom, Grand Theft Auto, and other FPS became popular.

Correlation does not prove causation.. (The FPS I play is called Combat Arms.)

Correlation does not prove causation.

But it is very hard to have causation without correlation.

“Mass murder at schools shot up after the federal gun bans were passed.”

I don’t think that’s supposed to mean that the bans caused the shootings, but only that the bans failed in their intended purpose of stopping them.
