Another politician wants to ban sale of Grand Theft Auto, other violent video games

Recommended Posts

Ugh, more politicians who believe violent video games are the reason for bad things happening. In this case, it's about carjacking being on the rise, and Republican Marcus Evans wants to prohibit the sale of violent games that promote criminal activity. 

And yet no mention of the other violent media we see on tv and in movies. The law he wants to change was established in 2012, and that law prohibited the sale of violent games to children, but now he wants to ban all violent games that promote this type of stuff.

"Besides addressing carjacking, the bill also changes the definition of a “violent video game” to one in which players “control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal.”

Great. This means we're left with golf. Wait a minute, a golf club is a weapon.

Tiddlywinks is safe, right?

So is baseball out of it too - oh wait, baseball bats are a weapon too! Oh I know, let's try Tenni - what do we even play then?
