So we have no right to have representation on what types of corruption we can prohibit minors from purchasing? We are then losing all of our rights to have any say in any decency standards for our communities at all.
You have every right to restrict what your child can play and purchase. You have no right to restrict what other people's children can purchase based on the ratings of an unelected MPAA ratings group in Hollywood.
This does seem uncomfortably close to opening the door to “virtual porn shops” into which any kid could waltz, his or her parent or guardian’s wishes be damned.
it is called a mother and a father.
it is like the goop factory products, kids loved them but parents would never allow the mess in the house.
if a mother or father does not want they child to have this then the parents need to speak up with their wallets.
Losing rights? The government needs not to be stepping in and playing the role of a parent. First of all these are video games re:NOT REAL. Second, as a parent one should be involved enough in their kids’ affairs to spot any material that is out of bounds and deal with it accordingly. Third, any whack job who is swayed by a video game enough to act criminally or violently is probably “off” to begin with. I for one am tired of our nanny state legislating to the lowest common denominator.
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.
Yeh, but it’s ok to stop them from praying. It makes no sense to me.
You still have EVERY Right to stop your children from watching, playing or reading anything YOU think is 'violent' or you just don't like. It's that the State or YOU cannot stop other people from allowing their children access to that 'violence' or 'stuff' that *may offend* you.
So this reinforces YOUR Rights ('Your' as in We The People).
you lost them a long time ago.
The Supreme Court has consistently (wrongly, in my view)interpreted "rights retained by the people" to mean, individuals only. Communities don't count.
