Bills have been popping up everywhere that try to limit the sales of violent games to children, but all have been defeated in the court system. Illinois will be the next battleground state as their bill just passed through the legislature and only needs to be signed into law by Gov. Rod Blagojevich.. the same person who introduced the bill late last year.

"In today's world, parents face unprecedented challenges in monitoring and protecting their children from harmful influences. This bill will make their job easier," Blagojevich said, praising the House's 106-6 vote. ... But supporters insisted the government has a duty to help parents shield children from violence and sexuality. "Don't let them become the monsters that we see in these violent games," Democratic Rep. Monique Davis said.
