<< The bill, which passed the Senate last week, would require business owners to prohibit minors from playing so-called "point-and-shoot" video games that depict the killing or injuring of humans.
Under the bill, owners of establishments with "point-and-shoot" games would be responsible for assuring that only those 18 and older play the games - by such means as checking identification and segregating the machines. Only the business owners - and not the children playing the games - would be penalized for violating the law, with fines of up to $1,000.

sad how some people are
