Surprising he isnt trying to ban Watch Dogs

He probably thinks it's a cute platformer starring a group of dogs. Surely GTA and COD are the only violent games?!

Bipartisan support apparently. So apparently no elected officials in IL understand the first amendment.

Videogames have repeatedly been given first amendment protections.

Maybe stop defunding the police and fix Chicago instead of banning GTA.
Chicago gave 280 million dollars of it's COVID relief money to the cops. Shut the fuck up.

I'm not saying ban GTA. I'm literally just telling uou to shut the fuck up.

It's legitimately hard for me to believe this is a thing in 2021

It's not. The 2011 Brown vs EMA decision means this thing is dead on the water. GTA is actually less violent even than the games used in the 2011 case.

It's not specific to gta, he's using that as an example. The bill is written to apply to "violent games" more broadly (it actually expands the states current definition).

I'm not worried about the impact it's just crazy to me there's some kind of political appetite for this at all

I remember when we banned Duck Hunt in Illinois because you couldnt go a block without seeing someone shooting birds from out their windows. Thank god it solved that problem.
