ESA to Sue California Over Violent Game Law

Advtg writes "In response to last week's bill banning the sale of violent video games (/. coverage), the Entertainment Software Association has announced that they are preparing to sue the State of California. From the article, "The Entertainment Software Association is planning to sue the State of California over the passage of AB1179, a bill that has outlawed the sale of violent video games to minors. President Douglas Lowenstein said that he 'intends to file a lawsuit to strike this law down,' and added that he is 'confident that we will prevail.' The article goes on to show how muddy the law is in comparison to other laws meant to protect minors."

Isn't it great? The ESA is standing up for the right's of minor's to purchase and play violent video games.

In related news, the NRA is fighting to allow children to purchase guns too. After all, it's not the guns themselves that kill people right?

Yeah, because Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton are two people that really come across as wanting to appease the religious right.

Well, there certainly doesn't appear to be any other way to get elected in the US...
