I did not always agree with his choices, but since he purchased them when I was not with him, I could prevent his purchase. I do know the owner in the shop personally and he will not sell mature games, which are full of violence, sex and the other bad stuff to anyone under the age of sixteen. In this is a small town where everyone knows each other, he usually knows his customers.
Yeah I believe they should prevent young kids from buying the bad games, and if the owners of the shops continue to sell or rent them to kids, they need to be fined.

Who would be injured if it were made illegal? The hapless the video store clerk, probably paid minimum wage? It seems wrong that person would hope more responsibility for the child's actions than the parents or the child themselves.

There was a similar case several years ago, when a kid played Counter Strike for 2 days and 2 nights, than he took his father’s gun and killed his family. All of them. I can’t remember where that happened: Japan, China or USA, however that’s not important. Was the video game seller guilty for that or the parents who allowed him to play for 2 days?
Let’s face it…soon, video games stores will disappear. Every game will be purchased online and this already started with sources like Steam, XBox Marketplace and so on.
Not to mention that you can download any video game from a torrent website and if your console is moded you can play it.
Who can verify the age of each person that hits the download button???? Nobody.
Family is responsible for what a kid plays and how much. That’s it.
personal opinion as a video game seller

If you are talking about issuing a citation, something with a little more financial impact than a parking ticket, I would be all for that. It should even be less of a fine than selling cigarettes or tobacco to minors but still be a bit of a reminder that there is a law against selling certain games that are rated not acceptable for minors would be acceptable.

Not all children have the same mindset, so my answer is this: If the legal guardians are present: anything goes. I will not link you an answer. Here it is.
I know some parents aren't the best judges, but if they do thier research and thier child is or isn't prone to violent behavior, they should find thier ANSWER.
