They are an excellent training tool Sonart, but what does that have to do with the point of freedom to produce a game for the public, just not kids?

Almost every conceivable toy could be viewed as a training tool of some type, to some degree, whats the point.

My point is parents have to be the RESPONSIBLE PARTY and be concious of what their kids do. It is their choice on whether or not their child is responsible enough to play it, because they accept the responsibility for their kids until they become adults.

I, as a responsible gun owner, and AVID shooter, believe if I so choose to design a game to sharpen shooting and tactical skills, I damn well can. The market would bear whether or not there was a demand for the product.

The Army and Marine Corps both have FPS multi-player "games" that are designed to give visual cues to the written instructions. The soldier gets to get the most possible feedback to accurately simulate the situations they will encounter in ACTUAL COMBAT, which makes better soldiers.

I praise FPS games for allowing me to use them to try various tactics to see how they play out in real time, and they are superb for doing things such as this as well as getting an accurate gauge of human reaction to the tactic employed.

So, is there something wrong with making games that accurately portray real life combat, tactics, techniques and tools of the trade? I would say absolutely not, and argue there is more need for such things. Any person that owns a gun for defense, should understand how to employ it correcty and to their greatest advantage. The more simulation training the better you will be, period. The repeated actions, the repeated sight picture, the repeated trigger cues, are all essential to winning a gun fight should you have the misfortune of being forced to defend your rights by firearm.

If all people taught their kids about firearms, trained them how to use them, trained them how to safely handle and employ such weapons for personal defense in their road to adulthood, people would see a result in more responsible people, with less gun infractions in crime.
