Do video-game makers have the right to sell violent video games to minors?

Parents notice that when you have a child in our household you have to be careful with what you say and do, "Monkey see, monkey do" DERIVES from those actions. Studies have shown that violent video games are linked with agressiveness. Violent video game are more harmfull to the brain because the game is active, whereas watching your TV is passive. The games reward the player by giving them points or by letting players advance to the next level, this teaches the brain that it's right or rewarding to make a violent action. There were over 130 studies EXAMINED and over 130,000 people surveyed. The studies ANALYZE the video games and show that they do increase aggresive thoughts, angry feelings, and aggresive behavior. In conclusion violent video game makers should not be able to sell to minors.
