Forums - Gaming - All violent video games to be banned in Germany

Samus would probably be considered violent. I wonder if they would consider Smash violent. WoW is T rated isn't it. So it just isn't M rated violent games?

I care a lot about my safety which is why I'm completely against gun bans.  I live in New Hampshire, the freest and safest state in the US.  It's no suprise that we have fewer cops and less restrictive self-defense laws than just about anywhere else in the US.  It is perfectly legal for a 14 year old to strap on a gun and walk in the state capital or a bar.  I was at a bar last night and several of my friends where openly wearing guns while drinking beer.  I love the safety I feel around such people.

Sarcasm?

Not at all.  Why do you sense sarcasm?  The more people with guns, the safer I feel.

^I don't need people around me to carry guns to feel safe. If anything I would probably feel less safe even if they were my friends.

wait when they get drunk and they wom't be happy when somebody will tell them they should go home. sorry, but the law in US is bad if we're talking bout this stuff - everyone can have lots of guns and no one cares and then you see all those shootings in school cause mentally unstable people have them. it's perfect in my country when you have to pass several tests to own a normal gun while air guns, stun guns etc. are available for every 18+ year old person after showing ID.

i feel safe cause i know that there won't be any sick guy with a gun - i can't say that bout you state knowing that even kids can have guns without any problem.

Guess what, it doesn't matter if it is against the law.  You can ban people from carrying guns but you can't stop them.  You can ban guns but you cannot remove them from society.  Criminals tend not to care about the law.

Hm. I think we have to get some things straight here. I was wondering why I haven't even heard about this. A quick google research told me the story is already ten days old (5th of june). And the uproar of the gaming community is surprisingly low

1. about freedom of speech
You can basically say everything you want to say if it's not a against the constitution. Well the holocaust denial is actually a crime. Some restriction is good in my eyes. It prevents idiots to spread their bs.

Everywhere this is tried it is abused...

In Canada Ezra Levant was tried by the Human Rights Tribunal (a kangaroo court) for republishing the Dutch Mohamed cartoons in an attempt to inform people about a very important news story of the day. Several legitimate newspapers and Magazines have been tried for reporting the news when 1 individual produced a formal complaint.

2. Not want to get in a debate about gun ownership, so let's just say, that the homicide rate in germany is 0,98 in 100.000 while it's 6,1 per 100k in the USA.

There is no evidence supporting gun control as a method of controlling violent crime (in fact there tends to be a decrease in violent crime anywhere people have the right to carry a concealed weapon), and the crime rate differences can easily be explained by a very large well funded drug trade which encourages criminals to be as violent as possible.

Would you still feel that kind of safety, when you get robbed and the people trying to get your money have a gun instead of a knife and they'll use their gun anytime, because they themselves are afraid, that you'll use yours? I'd prefer giving them my money instead of being shot at.

There is nothing you can do to prevent criminals from having access to guns ...

If lawful citizens can own guns, and everyone on my block owns a gun, it is less likely that a criminal would choose to rob anyone on my block knowing that they stand a good chance of getting shot at.



Guys, just let the whole gun-issue go. It's not getting anyone anywhere, we've had these discussions before too many times already. If some/most Americans like guns and want to walk around all day wearing them because it makes them feel safe, let them. As long as they don't bring them to your country, who cares. It's an integrated part of their society, no-one's gonna change that.

1. What was the outcome of your example? To get tried doesn't mean, that you actually broke a law. That's how democratic countries should work imo, if there's a complaint (while I agree with you, that this one is ridiculous), somebody should make clear, that the law is respected.

 

2. I see your points, but let's leave it at that. In another thread we'll surely meet again to discuss this



And here we go again... Europeans versus Americans regarding gun control round 117. Please don't use your guns (and stay on topic )
