"We need to treat violent video games the way we treat tobacco, alcohol, and pornography." -Hillary Clinton

In 2005 Hillary Clinton, as U.S. Senator from New York, introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA). The bill would have made it a criminal offense to sell videos games rated as "Mature" to minors (e.g. GTA 5, Diablo III, Batman: Arkham Knight).

The bill was ultimately defeated and thus never made it into law.

How do you personally feel about this?

Also, would you support Hillary Clinton if she pushed for for a similar law as President?

I think that's stupid on her part. Its not hurting anyone. Thats like banning violent movies. She should just fuck off. No one likes a nag.
