A state representative from Chicago has proposed a bill that would ban the sale of violent video games across Illinois, citing rising cases of carjackings in his home city.
House Bill 3531, introduced last Friday by Rep. Marcus Evans Jr., a Democrat, would amend a 2012 law that prevents violent video games from being sold or rented to minors. If passed as is, the amended bill would expand the existing law to restrict the sale to anyone of video games depicting violent scenes, including “motor vehicle theft with a driver or passenger present.”
