The Arkansas legislature (figures) is considering an anti-games bill that could affect state arcades in a bad way.

Something to mull over your cheerios with. All I have to say is that this is the most disturbing thing in America that I have ever heard in my life, since people blaming murders on music. Thanks to FGN.

Arkansas State Legislature is considering a new bill outlawing the freedom to "knowingly allow public exhibition of games." Representatives of the industry have come to the defense of arcades across the state, complaining the bill is aimed at the their industry. The proposed bill is in response to last year's horrific shootings in Jonosboro by two teenage boys. Operators in the state may compromise by stickering violent-orientated games as opposed to placing them in age-specific areas.
