as long as they dont try to force the games to remove something from the game...i dont see a huge issue with forcing the adults to make the decision to buy a video game for their child.
When I lived in Ohio, I remember having to show ID in order to purchase State of Emergency (PS2). I thought that was a similar thing everywhere. I don't really have a problem with a law preventing "kids" from buying M rated games, the same way I don't have a problem with kids under 17 not being allowed in an R rated movie.
Funny when I was 17, I paid a crack-whore to accompany me into Gamestop. My real mom wouldn't approve of me getting a GTA game.
I'm so sick of this violent video games mess up the children crap. The stuff on T.V. is doing more harm to youth than video games. It still boggles my mind how we are perfectly ok with violence on t.v. but nudity is a bad thing.
Arguments like these are so stupid. It isn't the product's - whatever it may be - fault. We, as human beings have to ability to make choices on our own. Video games for example, do not force themselves onto you. You or your children don't HAVE to play them. Same goes for plenty of other things in this crazy world. Kind of like the saying, Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
