Zach, the reason we don't restrict the sale of M-rated games to minors, is because its not the States job to raise our children. Parents need to be aware of what their kids are playing, and many times its already the parents buying these games for their children, due to either ignorance or just not caring. I once saw a father buy his 10 year old GTA, even after the clerck explained the rating to him.
Stores can put policies in place, and parens can make their own choices, but there are much better places for our tax dollars to go then on unconstitutional 'protect the children' bills. And it does cost the State needless money, again look at the half million Illinios just got hit with, as Dennis pointed out.
