Was sure if I should put this in the firearms board, but meh. Basically, the guns in video games are too real and the game doesn't make you request permission from command to use lethal force in the game. nice one, All Thing Considered...

What popped into my head was: what if they figure out what airsoft is? Vaughn said it right there, referencing the fact that Barrett had deals to license toy guns.

Just mention that Kennesaw Georgia has mandated that all residents own firearms and they've only had one or two murders total in the past 25 years. They'll shut right the fuck up because they don't know how to respond to facts that refute their gun-control propaganda.

It's another excuse to blame the tool rather than the person. It wasn't the shooters fault he decided to massacre school children, it was the guns fault. The gun made him do it. They are trying to push their agenda and scare people into thinking guns will kill no matter who has them. The leftist media is so anti-gun and anti 2nd amendment that they will create any kind of excuse to push their agenda.

I've just started ignoring them, nothing they have to say adds any real value to the discussion of public safety. They bitch and moan about the evils of firearms, but ask them to come up with a plan for securing a major American city and watch them hem and haw. We don't need to listen to them, they don't have anyone's best interests in mind other than their own.

Someone gets shot, blame the gun...

Someone sets off a bomb, blame the bomber...

Interesting food for thought...
