postheadericon NJ Assemblyman Sean Kean Doubles Down On Bad Video Game Legislation

To everything there voluntarily politicians riding the wake of a massacre in the Great Book of Bad legislation: Just. Stop. There are too many of you out there right now using your downtime to pin the tail on the scapegoat for ill-conceived bills that are designed to clean a game market video, frankly, is a
large
Jobs same regulations.

But if you're someone like Senator Charles Grassley, Rep. Jim Matheson, State Sen. Toni Harp CT or speaker Debralee Hovey, something must be done about this problem is not there, and what to do
now

. A large number of "something" that has been proposed and, fortunately, most of this "something" will be rejected before it ever become law, the Constitution.
However, if you are someone as a member of the NJ Assembly T. Sean Kean, can not stop at "something". Not if you're a crook Kean as inspiration, you enter two Videogames payables diametrically opposed, they take to the legislative chambers and shout: "Now kiss! "

Here" something "# 1:
The first proposal prohibits the sale of any video game with an ESRB rating of "mature" or "adult only" a person under 18 years. The violation of this law would lead to a fine of up to $ 10,000 for a first offense and up to $ 20,000 for each subsequent offense. In addition, the Attorney General would have the legal authority to issue restraining orders against the seller and punitive damages for the minor.
Kean obviously not aware that the video game industry completely voluntary
classification system has reached the lower 87% buyers minors. And what happens, without threats of heavy fines or heavy-handed government intervention. But, as we all learned over the years, the government has simply
can not believe that good things happen without his intervention. Employment policies are based on this misconception. And that's how we ended up with
suggestions such legislation, which claims to be "for the children", but in fact, the government is simply getting out of his hand game retailers.


Judging by the size of the fines (and the amount of punitive damages to less strange - that the game does not receive sufficient reward), Kean is

very serious

keep "violent, sexually explicit" video games on the hands (and eyes) of children - so serious, in fact, that you entered

other
bill which, curiously, is a way to put these games rated M in the hands of these children (and eyes).
Under the second bill, minors are allowed to buy video games with adult content and adult only if a parent or guardian is present for purchase and consent verbally or in writing at the time of sale. The penalties for violations are the same as the first bill.
good news, guys! Do you know someone over 17? Then you can also have a number of "violent", sexually explicit titles by simply declaring random 17 people + their "guardian" is called "bipartisan sale" and this is no different to hit the nearest 21 years, still wearing his letter jacket school and ask him (or her - but it's always there) to pick you something to drink liquor local jobber. Seriously, why is it still necessary? Parents
