QFT.

Saber, your argument over impressionable minds is irrelevant. Children that are impressionable (ages under 15 or 16) would never obtain the games if their parents would be parents. It doesn't take hours and hours to police either, it's as easy as not buying them, or even taking five minutes to see what your child is playing, and if it's something you don't like, take it away, or even better put a rating lock on the system. If parents don't want their children playing violent video games, it's as easy as not buying it for them. Only a completely irresponsible parent would buy an item without looking into it, which in that case it's the parents fault.

Even if you want to go a step further, you can set your video game system to only play certain games. You can set it to where it won't even boot up a T or M rated game, and you know what? It's not hard to set either. If a parent cares enough, they'll set it. It doesn't take rocket science to know how to set a parental control setting, it's as easy as going to it, putting what you don't want, and putting a numerical code in.

And until you show me some solid numbers on stores breaking the age limit; and I'm not talking about 15 or 16 year olds buying those games, while that is breaking it, it's not like it's selling it to people that can't handle it. The argument that high school kids want to kill people over video games is completely stupid. Those cases are so isolated, it's not even worth mentioning.
