HEH! They may as well ban every single game there is in that State. Included Playstation, X-Box and so on. No games for kids and grownups there. Pretty sad that they point at the kids.
Hell ban the Army and everything else that included guns and other weapons involve.
It wasn't the kids who have the guns in the first place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and that movie place. It the fucking grownups who had the weapons. Quit blaming the kids fault you jackass.

It's almost shocking how clueless this is. First of all, arcades? What year is it? Do they really believe kids still hang out in arcades?
Second, a ban is just a waste of time and money. They've tried it in a dozen other places and it gets overturned every time. Do they think the Supreme Court is going to grant them a special exception to the First Amendment?
Finally, the kids were the victims here. Adam Lanza was 20 years old. So, even if you believe that playing Time Crisis 2 is what set him off, he still would have had two years to do it with the ban in place.
EDIT: Man, Kristin Wiig sure does clean up nice.

With all these flight simulator and racing games I have I can't wait to get behind the sticks of an F-16 or NASCAR race car. I'm also qualified to fight alien invaders if the situation ever comes up.
Video games have taught me everything.

Remember the mass school shooting of 1959 when this bad boy came out?
Or the rock star boom of 2009 with the release of this game?
Yeah...neither do I.

Also, what game do you kill anyone who is innocent/good? You always play the good guy, not a murderer,,

After reading the subject line I thought it was going to be something about raising the age of consent. (It's still 16 in some US states, e.g. Georgia, isn't it?)

Reminds me of a Reno 911 episode where the police dept. advertised age of consent wallet cards that had them all per state. On Wiki P there is:
age of consent 16 (30): Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia
age of consent 17 (9): Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Wyoming
age of consent 18 (12): Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania

I'm too old to bang teenagers, married, etc. but out of interest, how does this interact with "universal jurisdiction" that often gets claimed on child sex offences? If you screw a 16-year-old then later move to a state where age of consent is 18, are they likely to try and invoke "universal jurisdiction" to charge you for it? I know it happens internationally - if an Australian goes to Indonesia (where age of consent is 14 for girls and 16 for guys) and has sex with a 15-year-old girl, they can still be charged with a sex crime on returning to Australia (where age of consent is 16 for everyone) because they claim "universal jurisdiction".

The international travel thing holds here, too, at least if "commerce" is involved in some way. It further holds for transporting minors across state lines, or enticing them to transport themselves, sometimes.
Those 16-18 laws also include some age variance, in at least 12 states, depending on the ages of both parties, rather than just the one. It may or may not be illegal for a 20-17 or 16-14 encounter to occur, depending on who you are, where you live, and where you are.
(Source: I just ran off and googled stuff, managing to avoid things best left unseen)
Note where Connecticut is on that list. Go have sex with a 30-year-old, but don't play a game that involves shooting things.

I don't know anything about universal jurisdiction. I was in GA when I was in the age range where I would have been affected and like Trig was saying, there are usually other laws where say 2 underage people could have sex if they were both underage. What I found weird about it is you could have a 17 year old guy with a 15 year old girlfriend legally having sex but the day he turns 18 it's illegal. BUT... I never saw any of these laws used/enforced unless it was a rape case or angry parents. Miley Cyrus blabbered her mouth about having a 20 year old boyfriend when she was 15 and I don't think anyone did shit about it.
