Sorry, California! Supreme Court Doesn't Mind If Kids Play Violent Video Games

supreme court allows children to rent and buy violent video games

Sure, video games can be violent…but then again the city of Vancouver turned cars over and set them on fire when the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup…so should we ban children from watching sports as well???

Whether or not you think your children should be allowed to rent/buy violent video games, if they live in California they’re allowed to, because today the Supreme Court ruled that “it is unconstitutional to bar children from buying or renting violent video games.”

According to the Supreme Court, the “government doesn’t have the authority to ‘restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.'”

This decision threw out California’s ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to minors due to the fact that the ban “violated minors’ rights under the First Amendment.”

What do U think about this? Do U agree with the Supreme Court’s ruling?
