72% of adults support gaming laws

The Supreme Court will begin to hear oral arguments for and against the California law that would make it a crime to sell certain games to children, and both sides of the debate have begun their PR battle.

Common Sense Media is claiming that 72 percent of adults "support a ban on the sale of ultraviolent video games to minors." The question asked wasn't quite that simple, however, and the included video is more shock than truth... but we must think of the children. "The results of this poll clearly show that not only do the effects of ultraviolent or sexually violent games weigh heavily on the minds of parents, but also that parents feel that the video game industry isn't doing nearly enough to protect kids from accessing the most ultraviolent games," said James Steyer, CEO and founder, Common Sense Media. "The Supreme Court's decision in this case is going to have a huge impact on families and kids across the United States, and what we've learned from this poll is that parents want to be the ones deciding which games their kids play, not the video game industry."
