Does that mean a Muslim has a right to vote for a representative who will impose Sharia law on the community?

No one’s taking away anything. The Supreme Court ruled on censorship. The measures that California had in place beforehand still work and most retailers choose to follow the ESRB’s ratings voluntarily. In fact, this weakens the power of those who might attempt to use censorship to silence news sources that don’t brown nose them.

Furthermore, the belief that this will stop the spread of violent games is about as effective as saying gun control would stop the flow of guns into the hands of criminals.

Assassin’s Creed isn’t going to make your kid go out and shank powerful political figures. Battlefield 3 isn’t going to make your kid go shoot up his high school. Harry Potter isn’t going to make your kid turn to witchcraft.
