Police Swarm Bungie Office Over Halo Replica Rifle
sv_libertarian writes 'A panicked person in Kirkland, WA called local police on Wednesday, claiming they saw someone walking down the street with an AK-47. It was actually a Bungie employee carrying an overgrown model of a Halo sniper rifle, which resembles an AK-47 as much as a Volkswagen resembles a Formula 1 racer.'
Halo 3: ODST is set to launch on September 22nd, and fans got some new details and early looks at the game during PAX.
The Kirkland police chiefs son was just walking down the street with a bazooka and went running into his garage when I saw him!!!!!
CALL SWAT! CALL 911!
RAID HIS HOME WITH NO WARRANT!!! Hurry!!
I'm a totally reliable witness!! Really I am.
Said the guy who obviously gets his information from Glenn Beck or some other nut-job.
One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces. - PF
Well, what do you do, when someone runs around the street with a huge gun that looks real to you? Wait until he shoots somebody, in case it actually is real?
"It's legal" or "it's illegal" is the excuse of those without an own set of values. I think it freakin' doesn't matter if it's legal! It's a freakin' huge gun?
What do you think he will need it for? Fixing a car? Baking a cake? No! There is only one reason somebody has a gun like this: He will kill somebody!
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Obama's anti-gun tendencies, eh? Go ahead and post your bullshit links to conspiracy fantasies on right wing blogs about that tired line. He's letting people bring guns into national parks but I guess thats anti-gun if you're a brainwashed ditto head. Not to mention the people who are bringing guns to protests outside his speaking venues with absolutely no retaliation, something Bush would have never allowed (hell, he wouldn't even allow protesters to be within sight of his travel routes, putting them in "free speech zones" as far away as he could manage). Hyperventilating right wing hypocrites sicken me.
The world you experience is only a close approximation of reality.
Lol.. And you are claiming they are brain washed. All you need to do is read Obama's own words about the Supreme court decision in the DC gun control case to get an idea of where he stands. As for the free speech zones, they were originally implemented by the democrats and historically used by them until your selective memory singled out Bush.
History isn't a hard subject. I suggest you try it a little. It's even easier with the advent of recorded history and the internet in which you can easily look things up with.
Somehow, a lot of the rest of the world manages without having many guns in public. We laugh at the american devotion to gun ownership.
Criminals get their guns most often by stealing those of your legal owners, so yes, less legal guns = less guns in the hand of criminals.
Trotting out the usual gun nut excuses there I see.
When will you guys realise guns never made anyone safer?
Never, I expect. How else can you compensate for your inadequcies?
19 mass shootings in Q1 2009 with 91 dead. If more guns on the street equalled more safety then places with high gun ownership/possession like South Africa or Thailand would be the safest places in the world. This is clearly not the case.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
