Note that the case, Brown v. EMS was a First Amendment case regarding the sale of violent video games. The court rejected the notion that inanimate object can cause violence and thus should be banned under law.

This might have implications for so called gun control laws that seek to restrict law abiding citizens from possessing firearms for any legal purpose.
 
Heh, blaming the object. Because people can't take responsibility for their own actions. Of course, I liked the result in that case because I like to be able to buy video games where I can blow crap up.
 
That particular case struck down a California (of course) case that barred sales to kids under 13 if the game had violent content. Of course, it's the parents responsibility to keep their kids from buying stuff they don't want them to have. Then again, it's a socialist republic out there, so it takes a village full of idiots.

If the court follows that same logic and rejects the research that shows that guns cause violence, any laws based on that theory and research could be invalidated.
