Video Games Not Protected Form of Speech

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-for-more-information dept.

E-Rock writes "Video Games are lumped with child porn as unprotected forms of speech. "A federal judge said local governments can limit children's access to violent or sexually explicit video games, saying games are not constitutionally protected forms of speech." Story with limited details at Nando."

    Why can't parents, and not the government, keep their children from violent and explicit games? And why can't we have a few more judges that have some common sense?

    Every day you see more and more proof that the left is gaining more and more ground in this country. Things like this where government protection seems to be the only solution, so we slowly learn to accept more and more governmental control.

    Yeah, I know, T(H)GSB, but oh well. This is important to me.
