I haven't read all 700+ comments so maybe I've missed some stuff but it seems like the anger over people being angry about the review is overblown. There are a few stupid comments but when I heard about the reaction, people made it seem like every page of comments was nothing but vitriol. It just seems like the typical reaction to a review.

@Jams: Please don't patronize me. I wasn't focusing on the stealing part of his analogy, I perfectly understood what he was talking about. My point was, if you're going to take the stance that limiting guns is pointless because criminals are going to get them anyway, then why not just apply that to every law? There is no reason for a "good" person to have military-style weapons or for it to be so easy for anyone to buy those kinds of weapons. If you want a gun, then fine, but there is no reason for auto/semi-automatic weapons to be sold to just anyone who gets a gun license.There's also nothing to back up the assertion that people are "hurt" by gun-restricting laws other than the fact that they have a few less kinds of guns that they can own.

I'm not patronizing you. You seem to either not get it or you don't want to. I'm not saying the laws don't work so lets throw them out. I'm saying that until they can solve the root of the problem, they're only hurting more than they are helping. Only two days ago a shop keeper killed a guy that snuck in the back of his store. The guy came in and started shooting. He got the shop keepers elderly mom before he was killed. Three guys were robbing the pharmacy for some stupid fucking cough syrup and were willing to kill to get it. The only thing that saved the two was a gun.

I'm more concerned about it being harder to protect yourself against murdering criminals than the occasional psychopath to which you'll never be able to stop with all the laws in the world.

Just a few days ago a kid shot herself with his father's gun and another kid killed himself, which is something that is all too common http://www.kctv5.com/story/20555073/child-playing-with-gun-accidentally-shoots-self. Mass shootings aren't the only problems with the prevalence of guns in this country.

Obviously this is very sad, since a dude has died.

But as a brit, it's also kind of .... well, it's in keeping with my opinion that gun law is fucking bizarre in America.

Like, yeah. Of course someone involved with FPS russia has been found dead, after having been shot. With a gun. Yep. I can believe that completely. Didn't even do a double take. Yup. With all those guns around you, and gun business and dealings with guns. yes. Someone got delierately shot to death.

Shocker.
This has nothing to do with gun laws.

Yep. I don't really care for guns and think changing our laws would do nothing. Prohibiting weapons would work just like prohibiting alcohol and drugs worked. They'll still exist and be sold on a market, just by criminals for criminals.

The difference between drugs and alcohol is that they weren't created for the sole purpose of maiming/killing. Now, drug/alcohol use can result in violence but that can vary from person to person. Of course there will be people who can get an assault rifle if they really want to but it shouldn't be easy just because "they'll get it anyway so fuck it". That has never been how society works.

@Subjugation what's your point, then? Your logic is that gun laws that restrict the sale of certain guns do nothing but harm "good" people because criminals will get them no matter what. Using your logic, why should we have laws at all since they are just going to be broken and they restrict other people from doing what they want? There have been no studies showing that gun ownership results in less crime or that guns are effective in protecting one's self. Also, states with looser gun restrictions have more shooting deaths. You'd think that if guns were really the crime deterrent that gun proponents claim they are, then you would see the opposite.

Maybe if I put it like this it will make sense: Strict gun law isn't all that dissimilar to DRM on games, if you'll stay with me here. Does DRM prevent pirates from doing their thing? No. It does cause all manner of problems for the legitimate consumer though. Same for strict gun control. Legitimate owners would have the problems, not the people with criminal intent. They'll still do their thing regardless of any law because they're, y'know, criminals.

Damn, I think you're the only person (I've seen) to explain it in gaming terms which seems to fit perfectly. Of course people will completely miss the point and say things like, "pirating isn't the same because nobody is murdered" or some such shit.

That's a horrible analogy. Criminals break laws, does that mean that we should get rid of all laws?

No. I hate MMOs and I don't want to see my favorite series waste time in that genre.
