This story is why we need to impeach some of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
Then return the States' rights and laws which have been taken away. Let the multi-state initiative be renewed to ban minors from rental or purchase of extreme violence entertainment: games, films, DVD's, etc.; so that our children are not so deeply desensitized to brutality, that they mirror this form of entertainment and are driven to solve their problems with violence as well.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to let California regulate the sale or rental of violent video games to children, saying governments do not have the power to “restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed” despite complaints about graphic violence.
On a 7-2 vote, the high court upheld a federal appeals court decision to throw out the state’s ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors’ rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed “No doubt a state possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm,” said Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion. “But that does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.”...

California violent game law stopped, Schwarzenegger to appeal (https://www.technologytell.com/gaming/10307/california-violent-game-law-stopped-schwarzenegger-to-appeal/)

The California state law prohibiting the sale or rental of “violent video games” to minors has officially been stopped by the courts. The law, originally proposed by now Senator Leland Yee (then an Assemblyman) would have gone into effect would have gone into effect on January 1, 2006, but was temporarily stopped when Entertainment Software Association (ESA), Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) and Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association (IEMA) sued to stop the law.
According to GameDaily, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who signed the original law, responded:
“I signed this important measure to ensure that parents are involved in determining which video games are appropriate for their children. The bill I signed would require that violent video games be clearly labeled and not be sold to children under 18 years old. Many of these games are made for adults and choosing games that are appropriate for kids should be a decision made by their parents,” he said. “I will vigorously defend this law and appeal it to the next level.”
