Well.... we could claim first amendment.Do you really think that is applicable?
I don't think so haha. There's not really a strong argument to keep violent video games.
If people are screaming 2nd amendment to keep their guns. Then 1st amendment should be fine. Legally speaking.
Like nearly everything in the Constitution, it all comes down to a Supreme Court Case. In this instance its Brown.
California wanted to ban the sale of violent video games to minors. The industry sued, won, and California took it to the US Supreme Court. They sided with the Industry, in a 5-2 decision.
If the movement gathers enough support, this would be the logical end game. If they can get that decision overturned, then they could ban whatever they wanted.
Its happened before. Largely, the battle will be through public opinion. Scenes like 'No Russian' or pretty much the entire GTA franchise will be hauled out into the media, and scrutinized. Bad science and made up facts will be how its done. How do you think the average person would react when MSNBC, Fox and CNN starts showing scenes from Sandy Hook and Columbine with 'No Russian' on the other panel?
That's true about how the public would act. But in the end like you said the supreme court. And by law video games would be protected. It's like those Westboro protesters that are allowed to do what they do because they are protected by law.
