Should first person shooter video games be more restricted?

There have been many attempts to create statutes in many states to curtail the sale and availability of violent video games to those under seventeen. Possibly even increasing the age to twenty-one. This would appear to be a low risk way to reduce the desensitization of youth to gun violence but the courts time and again refuse to allow such statutes to exist or be enforces on grounds of constitutional freedom of speech.

So what is the solution?

lmao its funny because some 9 year olds parents letting them play gta 5 got mad at me for using heinous language in the same lobby as their child, i told them they are irresponsible for letting their child play a game where a main character rapes a biker while on meth and started saying even worse more disgusting things until they finally started swearing themselves, hypocrites. :)

they can protect their own children its not societies responsibility its theirs.

@xSharp Should parents that do not pay attention to their children loose parental rights?

@Tastyfrzz yes, because it is impossible not to pay attention to a little child who wants to tell you everything that happened to them everyday, a child who is full of questions and eagerness to learn from their parents or guardians, i know from experience as an ignored child and as an adult that is forced to care for his niece because of her moms irresponsibility.

this shows disinterest and if they are not interested in being parents they should have their children taken by the horrible shit system that kill more than they helped and the parents should be charged with every crime the child suffers at the hands of foster parents

I've seen this before. I think it's the parents too. The guns are just an outlet for their frustration.

@Tastyfrzz or lack of both parents, the kids need balance, coddled and babied they get smashed in life, to aggressive and they still fail due to lack of agreeableness

they want to destroy the society that destroyed them, which is why most kill themselves after their rampages, they want to show just how little they care, and how much they hate what they have been made into
