At least 200,000,000 people were killed by authoritarian governments in the 20th century. Even assuming that video games cause violence (which there is no reason to believe is the case), it is really worth implementing police state tactics to control video games?
Clearly, if we can say there is any connection between video games and teen violence, we can say there is a 100% undeniable connection between censorship and mass-murder. The danger of a police state is so extreme, that it dwarfs any concern over video games by comparison.
I would rather take my chances with video game playing teenagers, than with despotism... Totalitarianism is fashionable these days, but that doesn't make it safe or reasonable.
