Sounds a bit hypocrtical, I'm sure the NRA will find a way to spin it, but anyone with common sense realizes that this makes no sense.

Really reaching aren't we?

This is not a game where you shoot people in the face and beat hookers to death. It's an inanimate target.

There is no violence in this game.

New Video Game Allows Players to Murder NRA President - Katie Pavlich

A new online video game is taking political discourse to a whole new level. We already reported the death threats being received by NRA executives and now, a video game which allows users to shoot NRA President David Keene in the head, has been released. The creator of the game identified as gizmo01942 Ediot says, "Share this everywhere, especially gun-nut and anti-game websites. Also see if you can't send it in to the NRA somehow, like through the feedback on their website or something." Gizmo also provides screen shots to viewers, which can be seen below.

The game is available for download and comes in the form of a zip file. During a press conference in December, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre berated the video game industry for their use of violence saying, "Isn’t fantasizing about killing people all day really the filthiest form of pornography?”

This video game seems to be retaliation for the NRA's violent video game stance.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Are you going to sit here and tell me your brain can't comprehend the difference between shooting an inanimate target and shooting a guy in the face?

On second thought... nevermind.

On second though... nevermind.
Are you going to tell me that you can't tell the difference between actually shooting someone versus a hollywood movie about someone shooting someone??

On second thought...

Wrong, theirs doesn't promote violence which is their stance on video games and is one which I don't agree with. Shooting a weapon at paper targets in real life or in video game is not violent nor hypocritical of the NRA.

Parents are the first line of defense with respect to what their children are exposed to with respect video games and everything else, for that matter.

Watching a film about someone shooting is not the same as shooting someone. I've seen hundreds if not thousands of movies or tv shows of people shooting each other, never have I shot or thought about shooting someone.

Guess what, there are millions of Americans who watch violent games and listen to violent music and never act on it.

Uh, where did that come from and what the hell does that have to do with this thread?

I won't hold my breath. Now, back on topic...
