Video Game Ban

Earlier today, there was a somewhat lively debate within the Supreme Court about banning the sale of violent video games to minors. They considered the effects of violent video games on young people and the definition of violence. Violence includes killing, maiming, and sexually assaulting images that appear offensive or deviant. Even though the law is not in effect yet, they would impose a $1000 fine on stores that sell video games to people under 18. If the government were to go about this issue by social regulation, they would have to heavily monitor. There is no promises it would work because, like alcohol, there would be problems like distributing to minors. Also, what would the government do about the violent games that minors already own? Just a few things to think about.
