ESA Fights Minnesota Game Sales Restrictions

BaldManTom writes "ZDNet is running a story about the ESA's suit against the state of Minnesota regarding a bill which would fine anyone under the age of 17 for buying a game rated 'M' or 'AO'." From the article: "Lowenstein said that the average game buyer last year was 40 and the average player was 33. He also questioned how lawmakers reasonably expected retailers to collect the $25 fine from children."

I think the state should require a license to sell M and AO licenses, and that the license would be revoked. make M and AO games a controlled substance, sort-of. That way, you'd lose your license if you got caught selling to minors.
