Where Politics And Video Games Collide

kids should be able to form their opinion on the basis on uncensored speech (as stated by judge Posner in the first court win for video games). Now put in proper context, those acts of violence can EASILY fall under protected speech, political speech even.

"It defies logic to suggest that our founding fathers intended to adopt a First Amendment that would guarantee children the right to purchase a video game"

The concept of a video game in general (hell probably a TV even) would be completely alien to them so of course they didn't consider them. Now the founding fathers do not determine what is and is not free speech they were never judges (to my knowledge) and they are all dead. We can only conclude that the founding fathers might not approved only because this type of violence would have shocked them, as does a lot of stuff we do today. But even then it's still ignorant to assume you would know the exact opinion of the founding fathers when they never had to deal with the whole issue of 'does violent media = speech'. The fact is though that video games can easily be free speech just as any story with any type of theme is.

Oh and second off, why should the right of free speech to minors be more restricted than that of adults? I'd like to see an answer to that.
