I shit you not——>>NRA Blames Violent Video Games for Newtown, But Partnered With Company That Makes Them: bit.ly/Tcrf81

But LaPierre’s speech left out a key detail: His own organization has a video game, too. It’s called NRA Gun Club, it was released in 2006 for PlayStation 2, and according to the top-ranked review on Amazon, it “could very well be the single worst game in the history of games.” The game, which was rated “E” for kids 10 and older, featured a handgun on the cover with four bullets and consisted entirely of various target-shooting exercises. Gamers can shoot inanimate objects like watermelons, bottles, and clay pigeons, using one of over 100 different kinds of brand-name, licensed firearms like Beretta.
I think MJ is reading this wrong. The NRA’s solution to video game violence is obviously to endorse games that no one would want to play. Problem solved.
