Oh ok, it looks like your first sentence put together so that how I was confused about what are you saying.
For appropriate age system - they did - ESRB for all games.

Well, I can't help, the violent games are part of my entertainment and hobby, so that's my way.

There are over millions of customers played violent game, such as GTA IV - sold over 25 million copies and it is extremely successful for Rockstar because they have to meet about what customers want, especially me and the game developers rely on violent games to make more money from sales. That's how free market works and there are some people have anti-violent game view, however I'm glad that they don't have any control on our life. The video game is part of my strongest interest and I will oppose any government regulation that has effect on video game.
I see lazy, irresponsible parents as biggest problem and we have to fix them. I believe that make biggest movement for parents could slow down the sales of violent games a little, however most of violent games will be sold to adults.
If you find this thread is really sad, so I suggest you to not participle to discuss. The emotion will not going change my stance about toward to the government.

It was never really a question that the rapidly escalating graphic violence in video games and movie entertainment was going to have a bad effect out there. It is something you see it you know it.
I do not blame this generation that has been immersed in it from early on.
I blame the industries that created this mess. I blame lawmakers of the 1970's for not having the guts to take on the regulation of this aspect of those industries.
There were lots of people saying this cannot have a good outcome no matter how you look at it. Well now it is here upon us.
Personally I look forward to taking back our country from industries that are hosing us in so many ways. They make their piles of money under the protective shield of our government and do not give a rat about the effect of what they are doing. In fact there may well be an element of support from the people who really run our government. Violence and brainwashing working together can be a good thing for interests that need a constant supply of young men to fight their battles for them.

I went to Walmart today and one teen (he looks 14-16) asked if I could buy mature game with his money for him to bypass the age question at register, but I declined his request and told him that I don't want liable for third party purchases - not want to get sued and raise the legal question for civil lawsuit.
Some underage students at Gallaudet asked me to buy alcoholic beverages so I declined them, but they went bullied me and tried to scare me, but not work at all. I will refuse all type of third party purchases to strangers, period.

ESRB is more effective to enforce than all other rating systems, especially MPAA and the music. When I was young adult (17-20) so cashiers asked me for ID to buy mature games, but never asked for R-rated movies.
I don't find any legal ramification for movie theater and the movies from retail, so MPAA rating isn't clear as ESRB does. The proposed law is just waste of time and no one will going to enforce, so they are not get my support. I'm predicted that proposed law will shelved in the congress because they are not going waste their time, so all proposed legislation related to games failed.
There are many, many parents disallow their children to play mature games until late childhood or teenage era.
The violent games are existing on market because of customer's demand and game developers collect more money, also teen rated games don't require ID to check and they do have violence involved, similar to PG-13 for MPAA.
