GA Proposes Restricting Game Sales to Minors
HarryCaul writes "The Georgia Legislature has a bill proposing the restriction of sales of video games to minors. This bill is independent of the voluntary ratings in that it would prohibit the sale of "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel" games to children. Another bill from the same legislator would take the more reasonable step of requiring stores to post a sign explaining the video game rating system. From the article: "The video game proposal is one of several like it being introduced across the country. Lawmakers in North Carolina, Illinois and Michigan are among those considering similar measures."
Where are the laws banning the sale of Harry Potter books to minors? I'm a christian fundamentalist and i find the Harry Potter books offensive and unsuitable for my under 18 year old children.
I can't be expected to be around my kids 24/7 and nor should i have to. Also my son has a paper route and gets money from his relatives on christmas and his birthday. He could just go out to the store, buy a Harry Potter book, sneek it home and read when i've gone out. I would never know he had it. If other parents are fine with their kids reading Harry potter books, then they can just go out and buy it for them. But a law banning the sale of Harry Potter books to those under 18 would be a great TOOL to help me parent my children better.
