That is not what the judgement says. It does not say that children have a right to purchase such material. What is says is that the state doesn’t have hte right to ban the sale of such material - to anyone. As a parent, you are still within your rights to limit what your children purchase.

You’re obviously very emotional on this topic. I prefer to have a reasoned, rational debate, so I don’t see any point in continuing the conversation with you.

Yet the California law did not ban the sale of these video games so your premise is mute.

The CA law only prohibited people from selling these violent games to other people’s children. The games were still legal to sell to adults under CA law.

So in essence this ruling did say that children have a right to violent video games.

A precedent like this will lead next to pornography. In a corrupt liberal society whereas the People have no right to representation on issue after issue things never return on their own to a more moral standing.

The People will have to fight to regain their right to representation and to bring back a moral order to society.

Well, Justice Thomas disagrees with you. The majority opinion states that the law is unconstituational because it violates the First Amendment rights of minors. It’s written right there in plain language. Justice Thomas’ dissent is based on the fact that our Founders did not mean children to have free speech (or access to free speech) outside of their parent’s influence.

I don’t believe that it’s my emotion that’s preventing this debate. It’s your apparent inability to read and understand English. Given that Free Republic is a text driven forum, I agree that debate with you is probably not going to be productive. Try reading the opinion again and see if you can reason it out.
