The Michigan House of Representatives approves a bill that will penalize retailers for selling certain games to minors.
According to the Macomb Daily, Michigan's House of Representatives recently voted 98 to 2 in favor of a bill that fines retailers for selling mature- or adult-only-rated games to minors. According to the bill, sale or rental of an M- or AO-rated game to anyone under 17 years of age can result in a misdemeanor punishable by a 90-day prison sentence, a $1,000 fine, or both. The bill will move into the Michigan Senate for a vote sometime this year.
This is Pure Crap. IF i had games and they just had voilence I would personaly buy the game for my kid.(ages 12,13,14,15,16) If it has Nudity I wouldn't buy it for them till they were 17 or 18.
