The SCOTUS has repeatedly struck down laws that ban so-called "violent" video games, but that doesn't stop Illinois from trying. More shocking than their attempt to ban that which they do not understand, is their world view of the role of Government.
...supporters insisted the government has a duty to help parents shield children from violence and sexuality. "Don't let them become the monsters that we see in these violent games," Democratic Rep. Monique Davis said.So to keep children from becoming "monsters", the government is threatening to fine retail employees $1000. Here's an idea, if a kid buys a game that you don't approve of, TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM! And if these children still turn out to be "monsters", let's start fining the parents. (Or at least take away their refundable child tax credits.)
