What the petition asks
I would like the UK Government to change the laws on video games which normalise gun violence, prostitution, rape etc. There are children as young as 7 playing these games online without their parents knowing. This is not something that should be acceptable, full stop.
Why should these games showing guns, sex, prostitution, gangs and so on be available to children when violence, acid attacks, rape and murders are happening in our country?
