Videogame Shooter Owned 15, Unsecured Guns! Happy Birthday!
mix \| 1:06 PM on 03.16.2009	4 comments

Remember that dude who shot up his school along with two innocent bystanders with no thanks to Far Cry 2? That mans father might be getting charged for allowing his son to own and keep, fifteen unsecured guns in his bedroom. Fifteen freaking unsecured guns in your bedroom! If that doesn’t set off some sort of alert I really don't know what would!

Oh yeah, he also had a copy of Far Cry 2 somewhere in amongst the pile of guns.

Now, in stories like these how can anyone have the mental capacity to blame a videogame for the shootings? I would have figured bad parenting or the fact that the kid had easy access to one or more of the fifteen guns that he had sitting around his room before I pointed a finger at videogames. People will always like to point the blame on anything and everything else as it seems that people can't hold responsibility for their own actions these days and it makes me sick.

I wrote this blog because I saw a dog today.

[]UPDATE]
Well aprrently the father had all those guns and not the rampaging kid, oops!
I'll leave it up anyways as there is no sense tossing it away as it would ened up being a one liner blog.

On that note HAPPY BIRTHDAY Destructoid, they grow up so fast!!!!

Hold on a sec, you got your facts all wrong. The father owned 15 guns, and the father had one of his 15 guns lying unsecured in his bedroom.

Really?

Oh crap going to fix that right now.

Thanks!

15 guns and 1 game means the game did it. Just like slavery!

Fact: All underage gun crimes involved people who ate food prior to their rampage.

Fact: Eating makes you a rampaging murderer.

I have finished 4 years of college and now have my Bachelors of Business Administration, with my major in marketing and I'm just your average Joe who frequents this site, especially when I am at work.
I missed the whole big bang of Destructoid (joined Nov '06) but I didn't miss the Dprime phrase, or Summa those were epik lulz and good times. I found this site while I was writing a report in college on piracy (don't ask me how...) and I've had friends and smelt good ever since.

My first video game console was a NES that my grandma bought me along with MegaMan and I must say that it was an amazing experience. I am pretty much open minded when it comes to video games and consoles but so far I must say that I am partial to Sony. I started out loving the Playstation solely because of Resident Evil as I frigging love zombie stuff! let's just say that I was mega jealous about the 360 getting dead rising, but my brother bought it and I hated it.

Call me a Sony fanboy if you will but I also own and still have these other amazing systems with a crap load of games to go with 'em:

Nes, SNES, GameCube, DS, Wii (no N64, I know), Playstation (mom has it), PS2, PSP, PS3, Dream Cast and an Xbox. I plan on getting a 360 as well in the future sometime but I want to know that it wont RROD on me. I don't even own one and it scares me.

Mix's top 10 favorite games/series that he just loves to play (In no specific order)

-Silent Hill
-Resident evil
-Final Fantasy (9 was a fail)
-Mario Paint
-Deus Ex (#2, not so tight)
-7th Saga (It'll make grown men cry it's so freaking hard)
-Command and Conquer
-Metal Gear Solid
-Diablo
-Anything FPS, I'm pretty much a sucker for decent FPS titles: (Cod4, Bioshock, F.E.A.R, Dues Ex...etc) and no not Crysis game play is Vanilla bland.

I made a D-toid song and I got a e-mail from Knee Row saying I f*cking rule, so if you can ch-ch-ch-check it out.
