    I think that's a great point Savaric, and an example of the all important mantra: follow the money.

    Why would the toxicology report be withheld? He wasn't a minor or anything. That makes no sense unless someone paid for it to be squelched.

    Like maybe Prozac/Paxil/Adderall or something like that.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    But I didn't pick on lobbyists, I picked on legislation, and legislators.

    I wholeheartedly believe that most gun-control lobbyists, though misinformed, or misled, are actually interested in being safe, or protecting their loved ones from evil, sentient firearms, which seduce children and otherwise innocent poor people.

    Oh, UK. If your historic leaders didn't use disarmament as a tactic of Tyranny, we wouldn't have the second amendment... Thanks!

    That is a very good point. AND unlike firearms, and entertainment... it is totally reasonable to point toward bad drugs as the reason for a psychotic shooting rampage.

    You didn't address the hypocrisy of blaming video games whilst making video games. Just saying.

    Also, giving tyranny a capital letter to turn it into a tangible agent, much like "Terrorism", is a crumball paranoia tactic, don't buy into that shit.

    My colleague, Simon Parkin, Goz to you and me, has done an excellent article regarding gun licensing in real games.
