The First Amendment continues to get raped

[Xantar]

Angry parents have been trying to get various things banned throughout American history. If it's not violent videogames, then it's pornography. If not that, then it's violent music. If not that, then it's Huckleberry Finn. Needless to say, naked pictures, music by Eminem and the works of Mark Twain are still around for us to enjoy.

Except for a very brief period, people hung up on morality haven't even managed to get alcohol banned. And unlike violent videogames, booze has actually been proven to cause harm when abused. You can criticize people who want to ban certain videogames all you want (I certainly would join in with you), but I wouldn't get too worried or worked up about it. The tradition of allowing people to carry on as they like is too strong in this country to be overrun by a largely ridiculed segment of society (evidence shows that most Americans do not sympathize with people who want to ban violent media).
