The U.S. Supreme Court, wrapping up its current term, has struck down California's ban on the sale of violent video games to children. The Supreme Court struck down a California law that would ban violent video game sales to minors. The court says the law infringes on the free speech of minors and the state cannot limit the ideas to which youngsters are exposed. The decision also struck down similar laws in other states. In 2005, California enacted a law that imposed a $1,000 fine on retailers any time they sold a violent video game to a minor.
