No, you have every right to prohibit your own kids from purchasing these games. The ruling just means you don’t have the right to force others to abide by your standards.
So you want to take away my right to representation on making laws for public decency. You are promoting dictatorship then.
A provision allowing explicit bypass by guardian or parent would more than address your concerns.
“No, you have every right to prohibit your own kids from purchasing these games. The ruling just means you don’t have the right to force others to abide by your standards.”
I am becoming increasingly amazed and dismayed at the inability people have to apparently read, understand, and think about the implications of written words.
This is NOT what the ruling states, as it is being reported. It states that the law was unconstitutional because it was a violation of the minor’s rights. In other words, kids have the RIGHT to purchase and own violent video games.
Think about that for a second. Your child has the First Amendment right to own violent video games. The implications are incredible. This is not the state trying to do the parents job. This is the state telling you that you can’t do your job. If you tell your kid that they cannot own a violent video game, you may be interfering with your child’s rights.
