Argument Against Violent Video Games

[Demon_Skeith]

In a 59-page brief filed to the U.S. Supreme Court this week, the state of California makes its best argument about why it should be a crime to sell a child a very violent game.

The brief reiterates arguments California officials have made against violent video games during its five-year battle with the video game industry to get the law clear of any legal hurdles. Twice, courts of sided with the video game industry's policy group, the Entertainment Software Association, deeming the law a violation of the First Amendment's freedom of speech.

But the United States Supreme Court agreed earlier this year to hear both sides' arguments.

Here is the State of California's best argument about why it should be illegal for a minor to buy a violent video game in California, presented from their brief and quoted here slightly more briefly.

How could it be a crime?

I would understand if the game was 18+, but violent video games? lol.

I don't agree with them...

While I do agree something more should be done to keep children playing their own age games. I find it stupid for them to make buying a game illegal.

What they should do is enforce the esrb rating system.

Exactly. There is no argument in this article, because people are to busy with fake things, when they should be arguing real things.
