The Supreme Court overruled a California law that prohibited minors from buying adult-rated or (M)ature video games. The justices decided that it was unconstitutional and it violated freedom of speech...huh? This means that a minor can purchase games that are extremely gory, contain brutality, sexuality(nudity included), and strong profanity. This ruling caused droves of parents to protest this decision. The judges logic was that it was the parents responsibility. Parents should definitely be responsible, but when your kids are out and about parents don't know what they are doing. If that were the case, then why make the purchase of pornography, cigarattes, alcohol or anything else adult-oriented prohibited for minors because it's the "parents responsibility". It appears to have riled up some cautious parents and rightfully so. Kids should not be pumping their young mold-able minds with blood and guts video games...let them be kids, not "chainsaw zombie assassins" Some parents on the other hand see no problem with it. Do you think this is a problem or do you feel this is not an issue and kids should not be restricted?
Sample Mature Video Game Label:

Should minors be able to buy these type of games?

Kids under 17 I say no last time I looked kids are not with parents 24 7 and they still have not enough sence to make choices.And we wonder why kids comment more crimes these days.We need to be more respondsable.Or do we let them run to all the trash they can find out there.Cigs are no longer legal in public places but lets feed a buding mind of a child to murder and give him our blessing GOD HELP US>>>>
