What Benefit to Game Legislation?

Plagiarize over at Aelon asks a great question:

Again, let’s look at England. They have the legal controls, and more and more consoles are providing the software controls.

-- What is wrong with Britain?

All the more evidence that this morality play the lawyers and politicians are trying to run with is little more than a hill of beans. If we enact these laws, it's not going to stop any violence. Just like ignoring the real cause of any problem won't solve it.
