Honduran Congress votes to ban violent video games -

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) _ The Honduran Congress voted Wednesday to ban the sale and distribution of violent video games, the country's latest effort to halt growing crime and lawlessness.
The country's 128 lawmakers voted unanimously in favor of the new legislation. The president was expected to sign it into law.
The proposal includes the prohibition of Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Turck, the House of the Dead, Duke Nukem, Shadowman, Quake, Instinct Killer, Doom, the Legacy of Kain, Street Fighter and Perfect Dark.
The lawmakers also banned the sale of any toy that resembles a gun, knife or other weapon.
The new legislation would take effect in June 2003, giving business officials six months to clear their shelves of the newly banned toys.
President Ricardo Maduro was elected a year ago on the promise to adopt a New York City zero-tolerance against crime. Since then, he has sent 8,000 soldiers and extra police into the street to maintain order.

hey there's a good dangerous business to go into, smuggling tuy guns and computer games into Honduras.
Who wants to be my copilot and gunner?
or maybe we'll get one of those old Elco PTs and smuggle by sea.
