1. Working toward drum tight

rules and regs about real guns is time better spent.

2. No, no form of media or art should be banned except under the most extreme circumstances.

Unless you can absolutely prove that a form of media or expression directly leads to harm it should not be banned. Freedom of expression and speech is sacrosanct. Besides it is for the PS2 it's at least 8 years old. Plus it's rated E so it can't be violent. It might be NRA propaganda, but that is not sufficient grounds to ban anything. I'm pretty much an absolutist in terms of free speech.

5. but this one has the NRA logo on it..

On top of that.. I think the OP was snark since it is a target shooting game.

6. I'm joking!

I just think that it's delightfully ironic given their latest display.

Here's a chart I posted earlier:

12. My bad. Sorry like I said my other post in this thread I haven't watched the conference,.

I really have no desire to hear the NRA's lies. Sorry for completely missing the point.

19. Really? the Netherlands?

Oh, those wacky Dutch.

[cui bono]

20. But that graph is skewed.

The Dutch are too stoned to get off the couch.

Seriously though, I wonder if they are talking about only violent video games or all video games. There are a lot of games that have no guns in them and some that actually make you think and figure things out rather than kill people and blow stuff up. Would be good to know.

ETA: Not that I'm agreeing with the NRA or anything, just like to know exactly what that is representing.

3. first you need to explain why millions who play video games DON'T kill people

if you want me to buy into the BS that games are bad and make a few kids kill people.

4. The point is it's AN NRA VIDEO GAME.

And Wayne LaPierre just blamed video games for violence. Irony, see.

[white_wolf]

7. Ahh now I get it. I was wondering if I was missing something.

I haven't watched his press conference. I really have no desire to hear what that scumbag says. Bill Maher was right. They really are the assassin's lobby.

[Chorophyll]

18. Yeah. It might be a decent idea to Photoshop a big red arrow pointing to the logo.

[OldDem2012]

11. Duh! That connection flew over my head at 50,000 feet! Irony, indeed.

[TeamPooka]

16. ahhh

okay

[Eric the Reddish]

17. LOL!

[earthside]

14. Well, that's not much of an argument.

Millions of Americans own guns and don't kill people, either.

[gollygee]

8. People don't appear to get your point

People: LaPierre just said not to blame the NRA because violent video games cause shootings, and the NRA makes a violent video game.

10. I remember that time that a gamer forced his way into a school - set up his PS3 and went

head to head with every man, woman, and child who would play him...it was horrible.

[bunnies]

13. ooooh. The irony!!!!!

I love it! Ban the damn thing!!!

Edit: Rated E for EVERYONE!

15. I'm sure Wayne LaPierre will be right on this one! n/t
