Well they passed it here. We'll have to see if the ESA challenge gets this overturned or not. If not, well people could easily go to the next state over and get a game they want there. Here's the article.

From the article: "We believe that a combination of parental choice and parental control is the only legal, sensible, and most importantly, effective way to help parents keep inappropriate video games from children." As a parent who has gaming kids, I wholeheartedly agree with this and can't believe it's not common sense.

If my kids go out and kill someone because they thought it was okay since they do it in video games, then I am the one who should go to jail, not them.

Agreed. Parents just don't want to accept resposibility for their children's actions. I think that responsibility in the US is becoming more and more a thing of the past. :(
