Given the two newer justices on the court - Roberts & Alito - I'm not sure it's entirely predictable where the court will come down on this. I don't think the recent decision on animal cruelty videos is predictive for this particular case. Generally speaking, I think it's up to the states to determine what can and cannot be sold to minor children. We will see if the Court agrees.

Actually I think the parents not the states should decide what is best for the kids, but that is just me..

I see it's time to post the graphic showing the real relationship between violent video games and violent crime again:

So if things with killing, maiming, dismembering and sexually assaulting of human beings can’t be sold to kids does that mean no To Kill a Mocking Bird?

That’s always the problem with these kind of laws. What makes video games so magical?

These guys obviously have not played Just Cause 2. In it, you get to blow up all sorts of oppressive government property, run missions against the government, and decimate their military. It’s great fun, and I’m thinking there may be something for the children of the future to learn within...

First of all, no one is forced to buy a violent video game. Secondly, define what constitutes a violent video game, for instance would Madden’s NFL be considered a violent video game? Finally, it is the responsibility of the parents to raise their children, not the government’s. The tendency of parents and teachers to use the government as a parent is troubling.
