This is a question I think about from time to time. Thought about it a lot in 2007 after the talk of it in the media because of the Virginia Tech Shooting, and again after other shootings until now. Ever since I realized the power of the United States government, I’ve really tried to envision what would happen in our country and this is what I’ve come up with. These are just my thoughts, and opinions…nothing of this is fact. I ask you now before I continue that you give your own version of what you think would happen because…well we may not be far from this happening.

moving to Canada would be useless since violent video games would be banned all over the american Continent.
""What If AMERICA Banned Violent Video Games"
moving to Canada would be useless since violent video games would be banned all over the american Continent."
Umm no why would Canada follow the ban in the USA when our monarch is the queen not the president
we also have different laws!
To those of you that missed tachy0n's joke; The United States of America =/= America the continent. The more you know.
I guess there would have to be a ruling on what is deemed violent. The obvious would be the run and gun types but lets think back to before those games were so prevalent.
i mean mario jumping on a koopa's head to squish him all the while trying to defeat bowser and save the princess. Wasn't that, in a way, violent?
Pretty much every game has some sort of action that is performed to defeat the opposing force. sports games are violent in the sense of the roughness they depict and with the recent statement of the Prez about football...i mean seriously.
It isnt the same as taking a gun and shooting the other player but in the eyes of the serious game haters it may as well be. Space shooters like space invaders, where you are blasting enemy pixels as they progress down the screen.
Fighting games like street fighter or mortal kombat. which was in the news for its over the top unrealistic graphical nature and yet was deemed inappropriate for the time.
I swear, it isnt the games that make people do what they do. Its with them...themselves and their ability (or lack of) to take what they see or hear and attempt to mimic that in normal society.
Normal society.....yeah, I had to laugh at that when i typed it.
nuclear facepalm*
do you know what america is? america is a CONTINENT NOT A COUNTRY.
Yeah thats not true.
North America is a continent, South America is a continent. Together the continents are often called the Americas.
The United States of America is a country, but America itself? That means nothing unless you elaborate further.
Next time, before you lecture people try to make sure your correct, ok?
Even The Sims has violence.

Most likely a lot of developers will close down and the gaming industry will fade away slowly
Except for Nintendo since the majority of their games are for casuals
Then they would have to cut out violent films, series, and cut the news since it has a lot of violence (bye bye CNN)... among many other violent things.
Sorry for the rant all. This is my opinion.
For all I know, most members are like you but there are just a few at the top which are making all the noise and pointing the finger at everyone else.
They can't ban violent video games without banning violent anything. It can not and will not happen.
The Supreme Court has already proven time and time again that they are going to uphold the First Amendment. If you choose to be paranoid, so be it. I'm not worried.
A judge already blocked the unconstitutional part of that law. Funny thing about the constituion....it has a few more parts than just congress for JUST such occasions of balancing power. FANCY THAT.
P.S. I can't wait for GTA V to release now so I could wake up to see Rockstar and all it's glory on the news. Maybe this was the reason for the delay? All of this nonsense going on right now they wanted to wait it out before releasing the game.
If this was to ever happen. It would be a very dark day in this country. There is already too much government control.
But honestly if games were banned I would take up hunting/ gun collecting.
But on to the topic at hand. It will never happen but if it did i would just get games via black market
Next.
"Easy, just move to Canada. Problem solved. "
Not gonna lie though. Canada does have the hottest women. :)

You must be confused, Justin Bieber is a guy... easy mistake...
I planned on moving there anyway because America is fucking crazy when it comes to corrupt power, so much so it's corrupt nature has spread all across the globe and is heavily affecting other countries. I ain't sticking around here to see what happens later on because of that.
On top of most countries hate this place for good reason, I don't blame them.
Canada and Alaska are about as untouched as you can get in that category. Plus Canada makes way more sense in general compared to most of the world and it actually seems as if they care about their people which is rare to see.
What a country that doesn't treat it's population like expendable dollar signs? No way!
