Buying age rated video games for underage kids, I know it's highly illegal but should people do it?

Due to increasingly high demand, adults are buying age rated games such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto for under age kids, I personally don't think it's appropriate for such as a 6 year old to play COD, not to mention the fact that knowingly buying it for a underage child is highly illegal and the buyer and the shop should be prosecuted as such IMO.
Do you guys agree?

To be honest the most offensive or dangerous content I have come across is not from the games themselves but from other gamers on online games. People on the online gaming community can be highly aggressive and we are not just talking petty insults but serious racism, homophobia and such are all fair game - even death threats are a common occurrence. For this reason I think it needs to be considered whether under 18s should be allowed access to voice chat and things like that.
I was playing San Andres and Vice City at around 11/12 I think. Was also playing war games like CoD and Medal of Honor a year or two after. I don't think a 6 year old would be interested or able to play the game would they? I don't have kids so may be wrong there.
