NRA Releases Games, Continues to Blame Them for Violence
247"NRA Practice Range," was released almost a month to the day after a gunman went on a shooting rampage in Sandy Hook Elementary. What does this mean, given NRA Chief Executive Wayne Lapierre's press conference in which he attempted to blame gun violence on video games and other violent media? He has gone on record, saying:
"And here's another dirty little truth that the media try their best to conceal: There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and sows violence against its own people, through vicious, violent video games"
So why release an NRA branded game? On top of the other NRA games- NRA: Varmint Hunter, NRA Gun Club, and NRA High Power Competition- released in the past? What makes "NRA Practice Range" any different from or better than any other first person shooter? Do they really think video games are the culprit, or does this hint at hypocrisy, if not callousness?
Not to mention...the NRA makes pretty terrible games.
