Leland Yee, of the California State Assembly, wants to make all FPS (first person perspective shooting games) illegal for sale to minors (google news). I wonder if he knows that GTA is a 3rd person game... Ah, well, I bet the legalese will handily take care of a whole mess of purchasing freedoms, like a sloppy drive-by. You can link to the Sacramento Bee article from the slashdot thread. It all gets down to the same problem: parents need to be aware of any entertainment their children are involved in. No amount of legislation will change that, or replace an active, involved parent.
