Photos From New ‘Bullet to the Head of the NRA’ Computer Game Are Graphic and Horrifying

Jan. 15, 2013 2:11pm Erica Ritz

After the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary last month, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said that “guns don’t kill people,” but that “there exists in this country…a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people” in the form of “vicious, violent” video games.

Yet another example appears to have emerged, this time targeting the NRA itself, but it appears to have been largely drowned out by outrage over the NRA releasing its own video game.

A concerned father drew attention to “Bullet to the Head of the NRA” in a Free Republic post:

I saw something today that upset and deeply disturbed me. I was walking past my son’s bedroom, where he spends all his time on his computer playing those damn games of his. I stopped when I heard the sound of Wayne LaPierre’s voice as he gave his speech about the Newtown massacre. I was surprised my son, who is just 14, was getting involved in anything political, but I was glad he was exposing himself to the right people. I opened the door, intending to tell him how proud I was, when the image on the screen stopped me cold. It was not, as I suspected, a video of Wayne LaPierre’s speech, but was in fact a virtual recreation of the event, a video game. And in the game was a virtual Wayne LaPierre, standing at his podium, giving his speech… with a crosshair over his head. Before I could even utter a word to scold my child, he clicked his mouse. And the virtual Wayne LaPierre’s face disappeared in a spray of blood.

The game is available for download on the internet, and as Katie Pavlich at Townhall notes, its creator hopes to see it all over the web.

“Share this everywhere, especially gun-nut and anti-game websites,” the creator writes with the username gizmo01942. “Also see if you can’t send it in to the NRA somehow, like through the feedback on their website or something.”

TheBlaze’s Meredith Jessup has more info on the creator’s intentions:

“I really want to shoot Wayne LaPiere in the head in a video game because I’m pissed about how he and others on his side have blamed violence on video games,” the game’s creator wrote. ”This’ll ultimately be a bonus level in the final game, but I want to get it done and released ahead as quickly as possible, in part because I wanna see the man wet his pants on television and bi**h about being victimized in a video game.”

The game itself appears to be a recreation of the tragedy at Sandy Hook.

Here are some of the still shots he posted to “show off” (content warning):

Online Video Game Allows You to Shoot NRA Leaders in the Head, Wayne LaPierre

(Photo via Encyclopedia Dramatica)

The video game released by the NRA allows gamers to shoot objects outdoors with the goal of “[instilling] safe and responsible ownership through fun challenges and realistic simulations.”

  I find the libs’ lack of coherent thought to be a bit amusing and a lot frightening. It’s the fact that they are making the case against violent video games for the NRA with this exhibit. In their elitist view of things the end truly does justify the means.
  Remember obamacare? It’s time to set the guards, cause it won’t what anybody says. These libs are gonna do what they want to do and they’ll do it with the blessing of their blind followers. This next battle is going to be for all the marbles and we cannot afford to lose!

  Actually, if you dunces would have read the damn article, it says that the person who created the video game is sick of people saying that video games cause people to commit mass murder. And unless you are feeble minded liberal, you would know that they don’t.

  The ability of the average commentator on The Blaze to differentiate between a Liberal and a psychopath is very dubious at best. It must be cool to live in a world where if something you don’t like happens you can instantly attribute it to a group of people you don’t like, Liberals or perhaps blacks or Mexicans. Unlike the real world where we attribute it to the individual who did it, which is what many Conservative talkers claim, although they fail to ever back that up by following individualism. But instead blame the mass, cavernous, conspiratorial shadow of Liberalism and those who follow it’s enigmatic cabal of evil or whatever it is you guys think now. Never blame the person, just blame a group, it’s so much easier, if you’re a coward with no real convictions.

  Nothing will come of it. The lib nazi’s can call for murder of those they disagree with and they won’t be held accountable. It’s been this way a long time. They seem to want a war but I hope and pray it doesn’t come to that. If they get a war they will wish they hadn’t.
  My response to their provocation is that I gave myself a Christmas present yesterday. I am now a life member of the NRA.

The most informative part of this article was that the NRA actually said that videogames are the cause of school shootings. Good grief.

I called Hillary a moron when she said it.

I call LaPierre the same.

The quote from the “concerned father” was pretty telling: he doesn’t know his son at all. He decries the “gamn games” his son “plays all day,” and is shocked when his son shows an interest in something political, and doesn’t even care about the source of the information or the accuracy, just that it’s from “the right people.” Seriously people, if you think games and media are an issue, then don’t let kids get to them. If parents were more involved in their children’s lives it wouldn’t be a concern at all.

  There’s a difference between what you said, that video games CAUSE kids to shoot up schools, and the truth. The fact is, video games don’t make kids decide to go on shooting sprees. The games just make the ones who do shoot classmates better killers. Games (and movies) desensitize kids to killing, hone their skills in operating and using weapons, objectify victims as something other than living, breathing people … these concepts prepare a young mind to make the killing spree more effective by making the acts less “real” to them.
  
  Empathy is one of the most common traits lacking in murderers, and serial/spree killers in particular. These games immerse the player in a virtual world where they feel no connection with their targets. There is a total disconnect between the act and any consequences or remorse.
  
  Just as we can agree that not all Muslims are terrorists, we do agree that a great majority of terrorists are Muslim. Not all teens playing violent games go on shooting sprees, but the teens who commit mass murder have played violent video games.

No computer in a child’s room.
Go outside to play every day!
Eat dinner as a family.

The animation is bad because the douchenozzle who wrote the game only had time for basic graphics, likely using some plug-n-play type animator. It takes a long time to crank out really fine original graphic models, and if he wanted to be “topical” he simply didn’t have the time to do the graphics right. But the graphics aren’t where he’ll score the points with his statist pals, no, their cackling and sneering will be long and hard with the “fun” they get in simulating shooting law abiding individuals whose political opinions they don’t like.

These are savages, folks.This is what they think not only of the NRA, but of you.

But remember, be like Gandhi and Jesus and demand your own arrest. Because people like these monsters can be trusted to treat you with civility and decorum.

  Bingo. If you dont know anything else — know this.
  
  “I was walking past my son’s bedroom, where he spends all his time on his computer playing those damn games of his.”
  
  And herein lies the crux of the problem. A 14 year old kid spending hour after hour after hour —– day after day after day — as a virtual killing machine.
  
  You can try all you like to convince me this has no psychological effect and I will tell you you’re a liar.
  These parents are miserable failures. Take your kid to a baseball game or fishing. Go throw the football/baseball together or build a kite together and fly it. Go get an RC airplane and turn it into an event to build and fly it together.

So … let me see if I have this right … the people who are against guns because they cause violence and death are now using guns in a video to cause violence and death which they believe it is justified because it is against a man who wants to protect our rights to own guns so that when people of violence and death want to inflict it upon us we have the means to have a chance of protecting ourselves against them … So, are they not, by making this video simulation game telling us what we’re telling them is true … that they (those who want to disarm us) are the one who will retain the power and guns to control and kill us via vie their government control programs. Is the NRA making such games for us to kill BO, Holder, Pelosi, Reid, and all the rest of the host of idiots wanting to usurp the Constitution? How are we the violent killers when it appears they have no problem making such games to kill us … who will they put into their games next and when will their games become not just a game for them but a reality …

  Just think Scary, if you ran for office you could get federal legislation to require a computer to be in the family room of any household with minors. If you don’t think that’s good regulation, you might want to consider not telling people how to live their lives.

  How does @Scary’s words for the “concerned father” in this article in any way reveal a desire to use the government to regulate something? It’s practical advice. The “concerned father” doesn’t even know what “damn games” his son “plays all day.”
  
  The “concerned father” is a poor parent not invested in his son’s life until the son does something to upset him. Scary’s words are exactly what he needs to hear. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – a bad parent will usually lead to bad children.

  I’m sure you did some things that your parents didn’t know about.
  
  But point is, scary is correct, but wrong approach. If scary wants to raise his kids that way, that is his choice, however, same with the father in the article (however ignorant he may be) the point I think Kevintampa was making is that if scary was talking to someone like me like that, he would find himself with a black eye–violence? yes, but lesson learned not to talk to a grown man like a child.

  @ Crazy times – so when I don’t mind if my kids steal from you or lie to you when they work for or with you; or that they reneg on agreements they make with you – you’ll be fine with that cause after all no one has the right to tell me how to live my life – what I do won’t hurt anyone else.
  
  There are some things that are required for all (at the least most) people to accept as common standards for living. There are right ways and wrong ways to achieve such civilizations. There are logical conclusions to certain behavior and the lack of discipline that manifests itself in chaos and uncivilized behavior.

You want to know why kids are becoming callous and evil toward each other? You want to know why these games are so corrosive?

No one pays attention to the age limits. Call of Duty, MadWorld, Dead Space and all those other violent video games are all rated M for Mature, meaning you have to at least be in your late teens to play such games. No one pays attention to what the ratings say anymore, so you end up with little kids playing games designed for young adults. Parents, if you want to stop this demoralization of your kids, pay attention to the ratings and play a more family-friendly game like Super Smash Bros. or Legend of Zelda.

  What about games like Skyrim, Halo, Fallout, etc…
  
  I mean, they are Rated M, and are a bit graphic, but I’ve noticed that Bethesda, and even 343 Industries’/Bungie’s HALO series have religious undertones…
  
  Halo is a good example, so is Fallout.
  
  One of the single most important, and most quoted, quotes in Fallout 3:
  
  Revelations 21:6
  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, I will give unto thee who thirsts for the waters of life.”
  
  ^That verse plays a VERY important part in the storyline, and even games like Skyrim address the issue with governments becoming corrupted and posing harsh, strict limits on faith.
  
  Although most games are bad, there are a few out there who, even though appealing to the masses, have religious undertones. Another heavily Christian game (this one a bit more obvious) is an old comptuer game called “Catechumen”, I strongly suggest you guys play it…it is a little freaky though, but there isn’t any blood or gore.

  My nine year old son came home two weeks (fourth grade, mind you), and stated there were a few kids in the class who has watched Saw and Hostel WITH THEIR PARENTS!
  
  As if this wasn’t enough, last week I was at GameStop so my son could find a used controller for his gaming system (he buys these things with his own money, not mine, by the way!). We were in line behind a woman with a boy who might have been 6 and another who was a little older than my son. The mother was in her late 30′s, well dressed, and white.
  
  The game that the older boy wanted had a ‘M’ rating on it, and the clerk explained that there was full frontal nudity, two sex scenes, and graphic violence in it. He asked the kid’s mother if she still wanted to buy it from her son.
  
  Her response? “Sure go ahead…might as well. He sees stuff like this on t.v. all the time…it’s not he hasn’t see it already!”
  
  I was floored. I came so close on unloading on this parent.
  
  Here’s the real problem: Parents who don’t want to be parents. Instead, they want to be friends or ‘pals’ with their kids.
  
  I, on the other hand, DO NOT want to be a friend to my children. I want to be a parent, which means being the ‘bad guy’ at times, telling them no and punishing them when they disobey.

So did Daddy dearest – unplug his little darling’s computer and hand him a book instead? How about locking down his computer, stop funding his video habit; take the door off his room? How does the little darling get access to anything without daddy’s consent or at least implied consent? Does the 14 yr old have a job, pay rent?

How is it that the children seem to be in charge in most homes these days?

there is this amazing word that needs to be reintroduced to the flock of little darlings – NO!!!
