What about porn? Is restricting porn to our children a restriction to liberties? Of course it is. But we do it, and we enforce it, because of the nefarious effects porn would have on them kids.
Children are not of the age of majority, and there is demonstrable proof of its harmful to children. So, it is not a restriction of liberties to prevent the exploitation of minor children. Secondly pornography is not sold to children it is age restricted, as are violent movies, alcohol, firearms, tobacco, the lottery, and yes even video games.
Certain things society has deemed under no circumstances can a minor be exposed to certain thing - such as pornography because it has demonstrable negative impacts on children. Others, with parental consent - such as video games and movies children can be exposed to it. As the other poster mentioned, where are the statistics demonstrating FPS games = mass murder to the extent they need to be banned?
Porn, the lottery, tobacco, firearms, etc are not outright banned. While you or I may find many of these things detestable, it is not for me to ban others from them. Now, when my perceived "right" or liberty to do something infringes on the rights of someone else, I know longer have that right........it's why the Supreme Court has routinely held "fighting words" are not "Free Speech."
