Hell, better go grab a couple now before they're gone.
I kike the idea of my avatar rocking a three-piece suit with a Lancer.

So some avatars who bought guns already can have them, but some can't? Just ban them all, people who actually paid money for a stupid virtual gun deserve to be ripped off.
But why? Only people who knows games with guns would buy the guns.
A 5 years old wouldnt buy a Gears gun, as he hasnt played Gears (in theory),as its a game for 17+.

How silly... Must be something to do with Microsoft's big push into the more casual gaming space. :(
"Sorry, you can't buy the lancer props anymore. But look for Halo 4 soon! And Call of Duty: Whatever it is, and Gears of War, and more games that we pimp like it's gold shit that has nothing but guns in it!" - Microsoft
This is silly, so silly. The damn guns aren't even real Microsoft.
Next thing you know Sony will get rid of any avatar that has a gun in it.

Microsoft your biggest sellers contain guns. If your avatar can't have them just make it a parental control, where gun avatar props are not shown.
Though considering most kids play the games with guns anyway this is idiotic all around.

Can't they just screen out what Avatars will appear as or what they can do depending on what one has their 360's parental settings at?
That's our Microsoft, pretending they have a family friendly image to uphold while people yell racist and homophobic profanity over their service.
This reminds me of a thing George Carlin said, "they're gonna take away the toy guns, but they're gonna keep the real f**king ones!".

Yeah, because people who buy real guns are so much cleverer than people who buy "stupid virtual guns". Also, you do realise that this entire website is dedicated to virtual content, which begs the question of why you have an account on it.

wow did you really miss my point by that much?
Buying games is fine because there was actual effort put into them and nobody buys video games just to look at guns.
Spending real life money so that a virtual person can hold a virtual gun for a few seconds is not only foolish, but it proves you don't value your money.

@steviedoors: Are you feeling okay? It sounds like a gopher climbed in your buttocks and ate your sense of awareness out of your moist b-hole.
Cool. I'll pop out my Gold Lancer from time to time thumb my nose at Microsoft for even selling these in the first place.
This is so weird. I mean sure we could talk about buying avatar props in the first place but I mean there's a reason it's called a prop. I'm not sure what negative image Microsoft thinks they're getting from these considering shooting guns is the very nature of a good majority of videogames these days.
Meh, do what you gotta do I guess.

Good job MS now get rid of all the hackers, cheaters, racists, homophobes and pedophiles. Also the French.
So what, now the ads spammed on the dashboard are going to be about fucking iCarly and shit or something?
MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.

Seriously? Am I not clear when making comments or are you people exceptionally well at missing the point?
First of all, I'm not making some kind of political pro gun message if that's what you think I'm trying to do. Second of all not all virtual content is the same. There is ZERO value to buying some stupid little item for your avatar. It serves no value whatsoever and you are seriously stupid with your money if you buy it and are now defending it by equating it to video games in general.

You'd think they'd have the decency to give them away for free, or at least discount them, before they go. This extends to games with impending delists too.
This sucks, I've been waiting for a nice looking gun to be able to dress up my Avatar as James Bond since the Avatars came along. Are we going to ban guns in screenshots and boxarts on XBL as well now Microsoft?
Since this current administration is responsible for shipping thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels, to be used in crimes as an excuse to attack our 2nd amendment, maybe we should respond by taking the Presidents secret service guns away.
Nah. Let's worry about polygons instead.

Well, at least the kiddies won't be exposed to any guns before they fire up that new first-person shooter.
This is like McDonalds putting pictures of a salad on the wrapper for a Whopper.

"There is ZERO value to buying some stupid little item for your avatar. It serves no value whatsoever and you are seriously stupid with your money if you buy it and are now defending it by equating it to video games in general."
What about people who pay for DLC that adds extra costumes, weapon skins, etc? Are those people gaining nothing of value either? And if not, what DOES constitute value in your mind? Because I'm sure some people might disagree.
Paying to dress up one's avatar is just as valid an expenditure as paying for anything else in the realm of videogames. It's all "fake", yet it all serves to contribute to an entertainment value that some people obviously enjoy... so what's the harm?
