Of course - it's playing violent games that turns kids into psychopaths, not watching violent movies, listening to music that glorifies death, or living in a culture which reveres methods of killing (eg guns).

No, of course not

I'd be happy to see this come in if similar laws were passed preventing the spread of the real dangers to society...

(And that's ignoring the fact that the proponents of this bill are ignoring digital distribution - both legal and illegal - which would make their farce of an idea impossible to implement)
