That was awesome.

Glad to see you hadn't died from some crazy accident over the last week.

I wish to meet your Dad online one day (and be on his team!)

I don't think we'd ever lose, and the micspammers would probably have their eardrums burst by your Dad screaming at them for daring to "TRY AND BRAINWASH ME WITH YOUR SUBLIMINAL COMMIE BASTARD MESSAGES AND YOUR DAMN, BEATING RAPE-MUSIC!"

Umm... I have to give you much regard for taking care of your father while his mind slips, but you really shouldn't have left a man with such a tenuous grasp of reality with a firm grasp on a fire arm. Dude, he could have killed somebody and Illinois would have forced him into a home.

So, yeah, I would not recommend that you own a firearm (or, for that matter, a sword).

Quite possibly my favourite part of this article. You continue to entertain with your grand stories Marion.

"You see, the commies always come in packs. Sometimes there are heavily armored ones: those you have to smack with the butt of your gun, spin them around, and shoot them in the back. Back in Korea, I remember a big fat commie that exploded and attracted other reds by the spray of his guts. War is hell, son, and a shotgun might be your only friend."

Hahahahahah! Love those Zommbunists...

It is hard to make out what may or maynot be true. However my Xbox has been stolen twice this year, my last replacement not a month ago. Unfortunitly after dropping $433 on my new system I couldnt possibly replace it after it got stolen ten days after I got it.(Not all of us have cushy Jobs for a gaming magazine)

I feel your pain, it blows. And theives are too smart to pawn it now so its just sitting somewhere probably not being played(Didnt take any games, dummies my games where in a drawer right below) I payed 433 dollars for my Xbox to sit somewhere.

But guns are not the answer, I carry a Mace gun(when I say gun yes its a gun that shoots mace) but thats just mace. Mace would only be lethal if I sprayed it up someones nose. You wanna protect your home? Cameras. Cameras everywhere, and not just that special alarms that go off if someone tried to take it. Go to your nearest security store, or somewhere that sells survelience.

In response to he title:

In reality, neither games or gun kill people. People kill people. its just that guns, knives, and other dangerous stuff are just instruments.

I've never been robbed before. Thanks god, that would suck. I'd probably never trust anyone ever again if that happened to me.

Marion, you are a light in what is an otherwise gloomy and boringly sane day, and one of my favourite writers on the Escapist.

I think you're missing the point. Which I find hilarious.

You're just as well off scolding Dr Evil for being evil!

 

[Doomsday11]

Well you you certainly earned my regard for helping your father in his time of need unfortunately his future need for weaponary should only be met with modern ware 2 and kill death ratio.

 

[benoitowns]

If guns kill people, then its my 360 controller's fault Im not better at MW2.

 

[masher]

XD
Ah... that was great! Glad I stumbled upon this. This has been a great start to my day. XP

 

[latenightapplepie]

I gosh I love Reliable Source.

Also: I'm super happy that it is much harder to get guns here in Australia than it is over there in the USA. Super happy.

 

[Naeo]

technically, guns nor video games kill people, people that have guns and possibly have been drinking kill people.


beyond that, why not just set up a bear trap outside your door, next to it put a sign saying "bear trap is to keep bear inside apartment only!", that would screw with some would be thieves!

I'm gonna quibble on this and say it's actually bullets that kill people, not guns or people with guns.
