Anti-Gun Game: The Slaying of Sandy Hook.

I have nothing against violent video games, they are fun, although I don’t think Hitman Absolution and Grand Theft Auto would be popular if you had to kill good guys, yet that is precisely the way the gun banners are promoting gun control, murdering virtual children playing as Adam Lanza.

The game, The Slaying of Sandy Hook, has players to carry out a bleak, stylized version of the shooting, which took the lives of 20 children and six adults. Players take on the role of Adam Lanza, the perpetrator, and text boxes prompt them to pick up a Glock pistol, move into the bedroom of Lanza’s mother, Nancy, and shoot her four times, just as Lanza did in real life. They are then directed to pick up an AR-15, ammunition, and Nancy Lanza’s car keys.

The game’s credits urge players to contact lawmakers and urge them to pass gun-control measures. It also links to the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action as a means to “keep up with important gun legislation.”

 

The creator is credited as Ryan Jake Lambourn, Twitter handle @googumproduce, who claims to live in Australia. Lambourn has tweeted that the game is “about importance [sic] of gun control.”

The game is available on several websites, but has been removed from popular flash site Newgrounds.

 

You know what? I see a silver lining here. If the players visit the NRA they’ll get to hear our point of view, our rationale, the facts that make our position the right position. So thank you, gun banners.
