Although proposed video game legislation has already been overturned many times, several senators in Indiana are planning to propose new legislation.
Senator Dennis Kruse (Republican) has filed new video game sales legislation for consideration in 2006. Democratic Senator Vi Simpson also has legislation of her own to propose. Simpson states that she became concerned about video game content while Christmas shopping for her seven year-old grandson.
“We’re not setting ages or changing the ratings, we are asking retail agencies to enforce it. Right now, kids can walk into just about any store and get their hands on a video game in which they can shoot police officers, use drugs, steal cars, rape women, or even assassinate a president. That’s frightening to say the least,” Simpson commented to the Associated Press.
Although we have a guess that this legislation is going to be as unsuccessful as other video game legislation lately, we will keep you posted.
