Millions of tax payer dollars thrown into a program that alleviates the need for parents to actually parent? I didn't have violent video games while growing up, but that didn't stop me from outbursts of violent behavior. What did? A swift kick in the ass from my parents. BTW, we should all consider that some of Arnold's movies are far more violent, and sexually suggestive, than any video games. Way to bite the hand that fed you Arnold.

A far better, and cheaper measure would be to hold parents accountable for the actions of their children. If a child gets a hold of the parent's gun, and kills/wounds somebody, then the parent goes to jail too. Where children are involved, there should be no accidental shootings. Pre-teen children shouldn't be handling guns w/out parental supervision anyway, and if the gun is left where a child can get a hold of it, then it's the parent's responsibility.

Ultimately, it's not the government's responsibility to tend to our children, it's ours, and if we can't do that, then we need to be held accountable for what they do. That will go farther than any other measure anyone can take. Making something illegal does not stop people from getting a hold of it. If it did, we'd have no junkies in this country.
