California Legislature Passes Violent Game Bill

Posted by Zonk on from the no-love dept.

404Ender writes "In a move similar to the passage of a law designed to restrict the sale of violent video games to children in Illinois, California is now awaiting only the signature of Governor Schwarzenegger before a similar bill becomes a law. Does this action signal the start of a disturbing trend of the restriction of First Amendment rights? How can we as gamers fight back against this type of government action?"

      Don't be stupid. The post is very clear.

      It says that only Illinois children can buy violent video games.

    I mean, Schwartennegger has never made any violent media in his days.

    Even Those from his last movie.

    When my (future) children want to play violent video games, they'll have to wait until it's their damn turn.

    I'm first.
