And do stuff like go with their kids when they buy overly violent games! Which they would have to do under this legislation!

There's a system much like it here in Australia. We have G, PG, M, MA and R. The only restricted ones are MA - you have to be 15, and R - 18, and there's no classification for games at this level. Any game that would be rated R is refused classification and can't be sold in stores here. There is nothing at all stopping you from importing unclassified material. It means, however, that the young 'uns have it harder to get their mitts on it. There isn't much reason for kids to be playing stuff like Postal 2, Singles, or that crappy LSL game (the only titles of relative merit to be refused classification).

Of course, some kids would anyway. Most kids end up with porn of one form or another by 12 years of age. Doesn't mean it should be sold to them.
