[Commentary] To curb violence, a society must find ways to deal with the factors that drive people to commit violence. On June 27, the Supreme Court decided that a California law that would have restricted the sale of violent video games to minors should not be one of those ways. This ruling was definitive in its head count of justices, but it’s clear that the issue of reining in media violence is far from over. The scales of justice are still swinging despite this decision.
