âEUoeGuns donâEUTMt kill people. Video games, the media and ObamaâEUTMs budget kill people... There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people, through vicious, violent video games with names like âEU~Bulletstorm,âEUTM âEU~Grand Theft Auto,âEUTM âEU~Mortal KombatâEUTM and âEU~Splatterhouse.âEUTMâEU

What do you guys think?

If vidya games or guns kill, then why it's the people that go to jail or get glorified?

[Chemich]

This is true, I threw a copy of black ops 2 at my cousin really hard and he fell out of a 4 story window and DIED!

GOD DAMN IT CALL OF DUTY YOUR GAMES ARE SO BAD THEY CAUSE DEATH!

[Drony]

Played this game, 0/10, needs child targets.

[T3XT]

I think I'll use my freedom of speech while I still can and make a video game that lets you shoot him in the head. Oh wait, someone already beat me to it.

Still, more people are killed by guns. You're not proving anything, however your story is cool! You should do this to the whole NRA.

He's totally right, since guns only exist for defensive purposes, hunting (no violence whatsoever there), maybe even shooting cans for fun, plus killings never existed prior to such video games :>

If graphic violence encouraged real-life violence, all horror/gore enthusiasts (including myself) would be aspiring serial killers...

It's been scientifically proved that Cho did Virginia Tech massacre because of Pac man.

I'm smelling the stench of Deja-vu.

That's an awesome game. The devs are probably ones of the best trolls IRL ever.

I tried throwing those plastic discs at people, they can never die.

You can't with those new fangled CDs and DVDs, now cartridges on the other hand, those can be lethal to drop on peoples heads!

[Darthdenim]

Black people with guns kill people.

[supergandhi64]

tsk... video game apologists popping up. i don't think it's any surprise, really. the young boys who use these boards tend to be partial to video games. no amount of snarky remarks and edgy sarcasm is going to argue in favour of video games, it only goes to show how detached and disillusioned video game apologists are

I do think that the NRA is indeed consistent on its views, since the game is only target practice. But that doesn't mean I like the NRA any more. If you really want to keep schools safe, give everyone a riot shield, not a gun.

[MrPercie]

either guns and games kill people or niether of them do.

there is no in between, cunts.

How easy it is to generalize...
I'm no boy, I spend minimum to average time playing video games and I still think the whole thing is ridiculous. Video games (and media in general) may only enhance to a certain extent what is already there, and would inevitably come to the sufrace at some point, they can't turn healthy normal people into murderers from scratch.

[WadeFulp]

I think the NRA needs a new spokesman. I can't believe he came out and started pointing at video games, movies, the media, etc, for sharing in the blame. Think of all the NRA members that probably play games like Call of Duty. Good luck getting them to renew their memberships.

I gave it a shot. I threw it at my older brother. All that happened was him saying "FUCK, I'M GETTING MY SHIT PUSHED IN HERE!". Seems rather accurate for BF3.

I swear quoting your own post when your name clearly shown TWICE already is the stupidest gimmick I've ever seen.

Ugh one more crackpot theory.

The Battlefield 3 box will just splat in his face because it's a pile of shit.

People kill guns, not video games.

Video games only cause suicide.

Because you die so many times in game.

There was a clever metaphor in here somewhere, but I'm not nearly clever enough to pull it off. Forgive me.

If you don't like the environment here then why are you still around? Besides, it's only logical saying that this guy's statement is absolute bullsh**.

[hateyou1]

Honestly, I'd like to see call of duty discontinued. If the NRA can get that game to stop being produced, I'd like that a lot. Then Halo can come back to being the most popular fps.
