Video Games are a staple of our economy, and banning violent video games would just be the tip of the iceberg, next they would ban movies with violence, then violent music, the politicians are trying to take away our rights as americans by taking away our free will and by doing that they are causing people of other nationalities to call americans in general dumbasses because our politicians don't want violence or sex in games, movies, or music. Whatever happened to the rating system that video games have. Parents should know that their six year old doesn't need to be playing Grand Theft Auto or God of War because those games are rated M for MATURE!!! When I have kids I will tell them you can't play that game because it is too mature for them, and not be a dumbass and listen to my kid say it is a good game when I already know the ratings system, I like the video game rating system it works its just the parents who don't pay attention to the ratings system, that cause most of the problems. Stores need to ask for I.D. when someone wants to buy a M rated game. Some games are rated AO because they are too violent or have too much sexual content for kids, or minors who are not mature enough, to even think about playing them. Parents need to pay attention to what their kids are doing, because the politicians believe that the games are to blame, but it is the parents themselves who are to blame for kids becoming violent, well maybe if the kids respected their elders, they wouldn't be little assholes and try to kill things!!!!

OK so these politicians believe that video games cause violence in kids, but what about the families that can't afford to have video games because they want to buy food. Tell me that video games caused the poor kid who never played a video game in his life to kill his best friend.
