This is what tells me this is faulty reasoning. I am sure there are many common denominators between these people. If one is going to try to make the transition between correlation and causality, one has to account for all the common denominators.

Yeah, that's true, there are more than a single thing contributing to this. There were gangs and juvenile crime long before video games. Still, I think it's hard to reject the thought that violent video games are part of the mix.
