I'd like to comment on the following point:
I believe that's a different coin altogether Twin. Killing animals for food is something that's (relatively) accepted as a norm and necessity, but killing people isn't.
IDs are easy to fake, unfortunately. And with businesses in pursuit of profit, combined with the general level of trust people have in our government agencies, I doubt they'll refuse to sell a violent game to a minor who shows up with an ID which says he or she's 18.
Personally, I think we have more pressing issues to look after which affects a wider range of people, like soaring fuel costs.

Look around you - even watching the local butcher slaughter pigs and cows would count as violence. I'll bet you plenty us have seen at least one relative slit a chicken's throat or gut a fish to prepare a meal, all before we ever hit age 13.
