Real Gun Pulled At Counter-Strike Tournament

Audiovore writes "Got Frag? has a press release and interview with the president of Cyber X Gaming about an event which took place after a Counter-Strike LAN gaming qualifier in Los Angeles at the weekend. Apparently, two guys from separate teams got in a fight outside, and when staff tried to break it up one of the participants went to his car, got a gun, and pointed it at the head of a staff member (who happened to be the son of the CXG president.) His team-mates then 'encouraged the person with the gun to fire', although the situation was then calmed down and the remainder of the event was cancelled."

If you have not done so already, I encourage you to see the movie "Bowling For Columbine." It is a documentary by Michael Moore about Guns in the US. He states quite a few figures comparing the US and the rest of the world. He focuses a lot on Canada, which has one of the lowest murder rates, but still has plenty of Guns and Violent video games. It is a very insightful movie and really gives a perspective on the violence in the US.
