Oh this is great... now we can kill all of those who votes for the bill and then we can say "oh, yea... that, ehrm... i played a videogame, and it is the games fault... " go see a psychologist and do it all over again next time some one proposes this idea...
oh, and even better, we can blame disappointing games, and make sure them and their makers dies/goes broke.
here's what should be in a new responsibility/accountability bill:
1. come up with a government rating for video games 2. make it illegal to sell mature rated games to minors, must show ID at time of purchase, like R rated movies. 3. make it illegal for minors to have access/possession to said games 4. make parents accountable for their children's actions.
slip in a clause giving a huge salary raise to the president, congressional, senate, and supreme court members; bill passes, problem solved

Come on this is silly. I played Doom when I was 10 and I have not killed any1 for now. I actually love playing violent 3d shooters but when I see pictures of real people killed I feel very shocked so this silly "violent games make people insensitive ****" does not count actually

It won't hold up in court, violent video games don't make people violent, people that aren't in touch with reality or people that have mental health issues are violent, perhaps video games amplifies that, but video games, the violent ones, are not directly responsible, total garbage.
