Ban violent video games in movie theater lobbies
Movie theaters that have violent video games in the lobby encourage children to play these games before or after a movie. Remove these violent games, especially those that have lifelike guns to hold and give points for killing.
Why is this important?
My grandson and I went to rave cinema in north haven, ct. This theater frequently has movies for young children. In the lobby they have a video game with two assault type rifles attached to the sides of the game. The goal of the game is to shoot the gun to see how many figures you can kill. I see kids and adults playing this game and becoming very excited as they obtain high scores for numbers of figures killed. I believe this contributes to gun violence and should be removed from theater lobbies.
