What this did was remove one of the tools a parent could use to have at least some measure of control over what a child is exposed to. Parents can't be with their children 24/7. It's not about whether violent video games are harmful (I don't really think they are), it's that kids now have the legal "right" to buy whatever they want.

The problem with things like games is that some are OK and others are not. With alcohol and smoking, they are banned for children across the board.

Who decides what games should be sold to children and which ones should not? Endless battles ensue.

True. That's why courts have had so many problems in the past trying to define pornography. The ACLU believes that if we can't define a "standard," then there should be no standards. (Now about those movies with those pesky "R" ratings....)
