Judge Blocks Ban on Violent Video Game Sales

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the games-still-apparently-the-root-of-all-evil dept.

dada21 writes "SFGate is reporting that a federal judge recently blocked a new California law that would have banned the sale of violent video games to minors. From the article: 'Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had signed the bill by Assemblyman Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, to ban the sale or rental of especially violent video games to children under 18 years old unless there is parental approval. The law was to take effect Jan. 1.'"

    Where does Ahnuld get off banning violent video games when he himself has played in so many violent action-movies? Doubtless, his ban would act against the Terminator series based on the movies he made...

    But it's only hypothetical; I don't expect any kind of sane response at all when inquiring after Californian politics. You crazy surf-hippies have your fun!
