Aussie Attorney General Says Gamers Are Scarier Than Biker Gangs

Posted by Soulskill on from the well-perhaps-in-some-senses dept.

Sasayaki writes "South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson claims, in an interview with Good Game, that gamers were more of a threat to his family than biker gangs. This is the man who has been the biggest opponent to Australia receiving an R18+ rating for video games and who has the power to veto any such law introducing it."

    Also to be fair, he is easily scared. Most gamers go down crying profusely with a light girly punch.

    Way easy to protect yourself from. Sitting on the couch 24/7 does not make you dangerous.

    And dont worry about the posers that think they can shoot a gun... We had a open house day at the range and had some gamer geeks come in wanting to shoot a assault rifle. I watched as 4 out of the 5 never hit the target and 1 cut his eye open as he put his eye on the scope and did not put the butt tight to the shoulder like he was told... And this is all from a wimpy AK-47 a gun with some real kick would have owned them hard. 12 Ga shotguns would have thrown these jokers tot he floor.
