I think there's a little bit more of a problem with that first part but I believe it is ultimately up to the owner of the business of whether they want to sell the games or not, but if they don't want to sell the games to someone who has consent from their parents if they're underage, then they shouldn't really stock the game at all, but then of course not only do they lose the money from the parents who buy these games but they lose the money from the people that are old enough to buy the games as well, so it's not smart business.
That almost makes me sound like I'm putting corporate America before the mental health of the children and the safety of the community!

People just need a reason to justify everything but there are definitely some more deep seated issues regarding violence in video games and it's correlation to violent behavior.
Everyone wants a scapegoat.
