Florida Lawmakers Take Aim at Violent Video Games
Bolstered by outrage from Haitian Americans and parents over a top-selling game, a group of Florida lawmakers is moving to stiffen penalties for retailers that sell or rent violent or sexually explicit computer games to minors. "Legislative critics in Florida of violent computer games have been thwarted before in attempts to make selling them to minors a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine."
