We're talking about the authority of the 50 states, not the federal government. A state can pass a law that requires people to be a certain age in order to enter a movie house (like it does with "adult" movie theaters). A state can pass a law requiring someone to be a certain age before buying certain kinds of DVDs (such as X-rated ones). It's the federal government that does not have the authority to pass such laws.
Here where I live, the theatres and movie rental stores supply this regulation of age, and unless you are there with a parent, most won't rent or sell to you if you are underage, based on their own regulations of these ratings.

Their responsibility to their children comes first!
Indeed it does..... where do you come off imposing your own morals onto other families and cultures?

How about giving back some responsibility to parents and their ability to raise their kids? Or should the State be responsible for all of this and parents are just there to spit American Citizens out? Didn't the Soviet Union do this?
