It should be illegal to market guns like this, holy fucking shit.

Walmart Orders Stores To Remove Signage For Violent Video Games And Movies (Including Turning Off Interactive Displays).

I'd love for America to ban video games, and watch them scramble to figure out why the country is still experiencing mass shootings.
That one Ohio senator or congress woman also blamed it on gays and weed
You're absolutely right. Those aren't dangerous at all! False alarm everyone!
Any store that sells toys should not sell guns. Period.

I kinda like it, in that the level of violence we celebrate in games is kinda gross. Making it a little hard to promote those would be a good thing.
But as a political reactionary thing, not cool. Obviously games aren't driving people to violent acts. By responding to that it feels like they're legitimizing the idea.

More of a deterrent than a weapon, really. They should be classified as a pesticide at worst, IMO.
Unlike those deadly hand guns.
Yeah I don't even want to joke about that.
It's maddening to watch this unfold.
What state requires a hunting license? I have never heard of such thing. You have to have a FOID card here in Illinois, but all that is required for that is like $10 every decade or something.
This is so fucking alien to me, like, what the fuck am I looking at.
This shit is so frustrating, America is broken as hell. How do these people have the audacity to pin this on games when the real issue is -literally- shooting people.
Fuck Walmart.
The best part is that this is EXACTLY where they sell them in most walmarts (back aisle from left to right is usually pets, strollers/baby clothes, electronics, toys, 'sporting goods' including BB, paint, and real guns.
Shit like this is way more impressionable than anything going on in a Call of Duty demo.
it's weird, why is the hunting and sports section always right next to toys?
I think the only thing separating them usually are the bike racks
In a hypothetical "what if" scenario, it'd be fascinating to see a violent video game ban come out of Congress that had a condition in it that allowed violent video games again if mass shootings kept happening anyway.
But anyway, fuck Walmart.

It depends on the state. There are three Walmarts near me here in SoCal and not a single one sells guns, and even the BB guns they sell now are transparent plastic and don't look real anymore.
They stopped selling them in CA in 2003.
That's the point. That, and lock us into a cycle of despair, powerlessness, and division as the ultra-rich cement their eternal rule over us. They're even destroying nature so we can't escape into it to get away from corporate power.
But, anyway, they know what they're doing. Only a handful of pearl-clutching old people actually believe that video games have anything to do with this. It's just a way to act like they're doing something while keeping gun sales high and rednecks voting Republican. That's certainly more important to corporations and the GOP than our lives or video games or logic or decency.
No they have not they sell guns at my local walmart right in the hunting section
Watching live Saturday night fights in Walmart can save you a lot of money on UFC PPVs.
it's kinda sorta not really real
it's angled so that it looks like it's pointing at the gun section
but its still fucking absurd that the school section is that close to the guns
Pretty farcical stuff. These kinds of decisions boggle the minds of those who apply logic to reality.
So Publishers and movie companies pay big money to advertise at walmart... i wonder if this will make any change to their revenue
i was just in a walmart, they sell rifles and shotguns... so the person who you replied to is wholly incorrect
Are people in this topic really so uninformed on the issue they dont know that different states have different gun sale laws?
