traces Connecticut State Sen. Toni Harp bill to ban arcade games that use fake weapons, this piece is incredibly bad (and
course

, written in general terms) Bill which seeks to "prohibit the games rated for adults in public places."

Apparently the bill arcades, if independent operations or as part of the fun in restaurants, shops, etc., but the wording is much deeper ( and negative) that the mere prohibition m Rated arcade games. Before we get to the problems inherent in the law itself, let's take a look at a fatal error, as pointed out GamePolitics. Unfortunately for Assemblyman, his bill has no effect on the games that can be found in public places on the gaming machine are, they are not rated by the ESRB. Thus, the prohibition of a party with such a note is blue unicorns ban - does not exist in reality

the problem .. arcade games have no qualifications. This is a strike against the bill. But there is much more that is problematic or stupid, and much of it is a good mix of both. NJ Assemblywoman Linda Stender hit the jackpot, bad bill drop with it. Your press release opens with a terribly wrong assumption stated as fact, and worse from there.

Noting the correlation between violent video games and violent behavior , Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-Middlesex / Somerset / Union) today announced its intention to introduce a bill

ban video games that contain adult content and in public places

If Stender show this as a fact, the least you can do is provide the name of one or two studies support this claim. But it does not. Simply break the assertion

has "taken note" of a "correlation". Maybe she was, but she did not say she made this observation.

The following sentence
head of this little guess-as-fact introduce the First Amendment as a doormat and the announcement of the intention to Stender walk everywhere (in the "blessing" of other officials NJ).

The bill comes as a report of the Working Group of New Jersey Gun safe protection, drug addiction, published by the state attorney general this week for the regulation of violent video games among its recommendations to address the root causes of mass violence regulation of violent video games is not an option, according to the Supreme Court of the United States. But regardless, it's not like most state legislators are eager to share a federalist especially when your Legislation thought on the line. Someone will find a corner and follow until the end of the superior courts. It's a shame that this so-called "working group" done his homework in video games and government regulation. I guess it's not his only bad suggestion.

Games "which are intended for an older audience, more mature does not belong in places where children can easily access them. Only video games have no influence on violent behavior but it can play a role. few shootings most prolific mass not only in this country but the world had links to violent video games, "said Stender. "The more a child is exposed to video games where killing is the only objective, the more likely he or she will be immune to this type of behavior and even considered acceptable. This bill would ensure that the games graphic adult content is not available for children who are not old enough to distinguish between fantasy and reality. "

If by" links ", which means "ownership / play video games," then that is the right thing. If she really media
"links", then it is back where he started the press release - an urgent need for physical evidence As for the


exactly Bill "ensure" that is open to debate

One thing is certain: the rake bill a little money for the state Stender bill to "prohibit operators of a public place in the creation of video games. PEGI with a mature or adult available for use by the public. " Any offense would carry a fine of $ 10,000 (for a first offense - up to $ 20,000 for subsequent offenses) under the Act, consumer fraud. This is a fine rather expensive for something as vague as some "available" games. (The inaccuracy increases exponentially with the long list of "places of public accommodation." I will return in a moment.)

This is not the only penalty, however. At the discretion of the prosecutor general, punitive damages may be assessed and "treble damages and costs" assigned to the "wounded." Nice little twist, this last part. This makes playing certain video games, while potentially profitable miners.

Now, the part that is most disturbing about this proposal is the "public place" list, which is too long and wide.
