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.

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!

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.

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.
