Anti-Gaming law rejected

I haven't seen much mention of this on this site but it's a bit of good news for all gamers.

Video games now qualify as protected under the US first Amendment.

This is a major blow against the many groups that want any game they deem violent banned. While the primary focus of these groups are games that are excessively violent and gory, there is no telling how soon the slippery slope of censorship could claim a game like WoW.

These groups will not be backing down and will probably be putting forth more attempts to censor and ban some games.

I urge every gamer to stay informed on this issue and writing state senators to help the process of maintaining First Amendment Protection for video game.
Don't allow games to be censored or banned, stay informed and stay vocal.
