So if we shoot John Kerry in a game with a 9mm it's ok, but if we use a laser gun or use the laser gun to shoot aliens from outer space it's wrong? :P

obscenity is illegal.  obscenity is something that lacks that stuff.  shooting kerry wouldnt be legal.

Well, if the graphics were really pretty, it would have artistic merit; therefore, it would be legal. :D

Since when does violent videogames = hardcorn pornography? Why outlaw hardcore porn and not softcore? It seems like softcore pornography would be a step above videogames on the list.
