Should any group of people be banned from videogames?

And who should do the banning?

Parents?

Store owners?

And why?

For me it's parents should be giving the kids the games.

NEVER bureaucrats or pressure groups.

Sorry, dumb joke

But yeah, I think parents should have the final say in video games, music, TV, movies rather than any outside group no matter how well-meaning.
