Video Games
The gaming industry has grown into a major necessity for the youth today. However, there are many adults who find themselves playing games as an outlet to keep up with new digital media. As a result, there are many games, when manufactured, labeled for teens, Mature and for everyone.
There are many adults who ignore these labels and allow children to play games with extreme violence, such as Call of Duty and Grand Theif Auto. These type of games has led children down a road of violence, trying to emulate the charcters on the game.
As a result to this type of violence, the Entertainment Merchants Association challenged a state law restricting the sale or rental of violent games to anyone under 18. However, does the government limits on video-game distributors, violates their First Amendents rigths of freedom of speech?
Should the government place these type of restrictions on video games? if so, how?

ANSWER: i do think the gov't should place restrictions on the sale/rental of video games that condone to violence and doing crimes...at the same time kids are still prone to other things that can lead them down to vioalence. if they ban the sell of video games than they might as well ban a lot of other stuff as well.
i understand why u agree with it makes since. . I still dont believe the government should restrict stores from sellng those items if kids can get influence anywhere else
