Louisiana Politicos Defend Game Bill

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday July 7, 2006 @07:32AM from the important-legislating dept.

GameDaily reports on comments by LA Senators and politicians defending the Louisiana violent games law. The vigorous defense now has backing from the state's Attorney General, who has vowed to go to the SCOTUS if need be. From the article: "[Assistant Attorney General Burton] Guidry added that the law is 'not going to curtail the free speech of anybody,' but then he used the old 'games are training kids to kill' argument. 'This is more than speech. This is truly training for violence," he said. 'You assume the character of a mass murderer. You go out and kill people as violently as you can because you score more points.'"

Ok so, they'll ban violent video games but real guns are a God given right? Are these the same people who talk about personal responsibility and holding the individual accountable?
