Many people have an unhealthy obsession with guns

I don't understand this. These are not real guns, so you obviously don't mean gun nuts. 

I'd say people choosing to shoot in a fake medium where nobody gets injured is actually a healthy obsession with guns. 

Unless of course by unhealthy you mean simply having an obsession in the first place, but then , how is that any different from being obsessed with platformers?  or any other genre for that matter...

I mean having an obsession with guns independent of gaming in the first place.

I don't think it's particularly healthy to glorify an object designed for murder. Just my p[ersonal opinion.

And that's fine, if we are talking about real guns. 

In this case however the player is simply holding a controller pushing buttons and absolutely nothing is happening in real  life as consequence. No real weapons are ever involved. Hardly glorifying.

Also, I don't really want to go personal here, but the Bayonetta avatar sort of agrees with me.
