Should it be against the law to sell violent video games to minors?
A California court struck down a law that banned sale or rental of violent video games to minors, saying the law violated the minors’ constitutional rights. Now the Supreme Court is looking at the case. Should sales of violent video games to minors be against the law?
NATE BUCHANAN, Miamisburg: “If the manufacturer puts a sticker on there that says ‘M’ for mature, and a store still sells it to minors, that should be against the law.”
SANDRA ADAMS-ORTIZ, Washington Twp.: “Yes. My husband likes ‘Halo,’ but we’re very careful not to let my 12-year-old play it. Unfortunately, some video game rooms allow minor children to play violent games.”
DAWN LEWIS, Clayton: “Yes. I’m a parent of a 10-year-old and a 7-year-old, and we pay attention to what’s brought into our home. My husband keeps his video games separate.”
KATHY TYREE, Union: “It should be against the law for minors to buy them. Children are exposed to enough in their everyday lives. They don’t need to be exposed to that.”
ROGER RANDALL, Englewood: “Channel 7 is running stories on kids trying to imitate stunts they see on viral videos who end up hurting themselves. Some kids, depending on their ages, don’t distinguish very well between reality and the video games.”
