Supreme Court Shoots Down Violent Video Game Law

[ECTNews]

 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the video game industry on Monday, striking down the California law forbidding the asle of violent games to minors. In its decision on Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, the court says that the act does not comport with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The vote was 7-2 in favor of rejecting the 2005 California law that would prohibit selling or renting certain games to minors, based on legislative findings that they stimulate feelings of aggression, reduce brain activity, and promote violent and antisocial behavior.
