Illinois trying to ban violent video game sales in the state

[Lady Redfield]

Illinois rep. wants to ban ‘all violent video games’ to curb violence

The amendments were introduced last week

www.google.ca

So increased car jackings in Chicago = GTA games’ fault.

This could honestly get really messy depending on what they even would consider " otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal.” because that could include wrestling games or help even football since you got to tackle people. this is just the dumbest shit I read all day. Fuck anyone who even votes in favor of such nonsense.

This will fail just like any other attempt to ban video games. Suppose they do, then people will either move out of state en masse, or go out of state to buy games, or just order them on Amazon.

Shit like this doesn't work.

How would this work with digital games? I feel like there's not really a way they can ban you from buying games on Steam or the Xbox store or PSN. even if it's like banned per state you could probably buy a code on ebay/amazon and redeem it.

Instead of punishing everyone, maybe try punishing the parents who didn’t teach their kids right from wrong lol

I have no problem with kids playing these kinds of games as I grew up heavily on Mortal Kombat and it never occurred to me to go out and rip someone’s spine out cuz my parents weren’t too busy playing FarmVille instead of raising me properly.

Also, I’m old enough that the internet wasn’t a big thing in people’s houses yet and Facebook didn’t exist.

Yeah, games at least have ratings on them so if it says Mature you shouldn't play it if you're under 17(even though we all did) but those young kids can get online and look up anything they want.

Yep. They will move out in masses and vote the same damn way when they move. Then wonder why the new place they moved to turned to shit.
