I live in michigan and we already have something like this i belive, i remember the first time i was rejected to purchase a game it was when mortal combat gold first came out for the dreamcast, not only did i have to find my dad to buy the game, but after i handed him the money he told me my dad had to hand it to him, after he was id'd and the man typed something in the register. I personally thought it was the most dumb thing, but i supose since i can't buy a movie at miejers, i might not as well be able to buy a game. I also think you should be able to purchase a video game a 16, when you can drive yourself to the store why should you have to have your parents buy things? Also, does anyone know how old you have to be to go overseas and fight in iraq, i'm guessing before you can purchase video games.
Yeah, i agree all polititions want to do is get votes, the only reason they do the few right things is to get votes, it's a joke what our political system has turned into.
Shouldn't the government be working on more importand issues, ie terrorism, theft, murder...I just think making it harder to bring i gun to school would be more efficiant in stopping school shootings then the stopping of playing games, come on it's just a game.
