Proposed CA Laws to Reclassify Violent Video Games

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday April 8, 2004 @02:12PM from the early-witchhunt-stages dept.

cybermox writes "There are two laws (AB1792 and AB1793) up for committee approval next week in the California State Assembly that seek to reclassify violent video games in a manner similar to pornography (1792) and require retailers to display Mature rated games separately from other games (1793). The IGDA trade body has a document opposing the bill in its anti-censorship advocacy page." Update: 04/09 02:22 GMT by S : Reuters is also covering support for the bill among "elected officials, religious leaders and civic activists", who "rallied across California on Thursday" - we've previously covered the introduction of this proposed legislation.

This idea is kickass. Then you could go to the porn store and pick up a movie and a violent game at one time. Then if your girl sees a reciept on your table for the porn store; you can say, "I just bought a game. I swear!"
