Yeah I was definitely surprised. Nice jabs at our constitution. You dipweeds! Seems like I just can't escape idioctic neo-liberalism, even when playing a silly video game.

Neo-Liberalism? When did that term come about? I would say it is pretty old fashioned liberalism.

Since when did Neo have any pull with the developers???

Neo, I know yer a mod and all but if you've had a hand in quest balloon development, you got some 'splainin to dooo! :D


On a serious note there's nothing wrong with having gun laws, it's just already gone so far in this country til now that its usually the upstanding gun owners who are hassled and not the illegal gun owners cause there is so many. It's too late to close the barn door

How would expanding gun background checks hassle legal, law abiding gun owners? Seriously, if you're not a felon or have a diagnosed untreated mental illness that could lead to you using that gun on innocents, how will those more extensive background checks affect you?








Maegnificent, I understood, I just had to take a poke at the debate. ;)

There's hassle to buy a gun. Wait times, fees, and if paperwork doesn't check out then there's an investigation. Meanwhile carrying an u registered weapon here isn't a felony if memory serves. For every 1000 law abiding people who don't mind regulations and laws you have 1 joker crying about "land of the free" and taking rights away and goes wacko so they impose more on everyone else. The US is the home of the free but feeding comes with responsibility and consequences and I think some of us forget about that and common sense from time to time. I have no qualms with more laws here if it keeps people safe. They need to be harsher here with habitual criminals. Ah well

Overall I agree with you. It's the way of the world: one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. But if longer wait times, more paperwork, and more investigations result in less gun violence and fatalities, isn't that a small price to pay?

Do the people that are moaning about this task line even watch the show??

I don't think having a discussion is the same thing as moaning....and by the way, I've been watching the show since the shorts on Tracy Ullman. I love Herman and think he's a great character. But I still find this particular quest is a little insensitive and it made me uncomfortable. I'm not gonna quit playing or watching the show but can still have an opinion.

And what's with Herman's voice??? What even is that? Sounds like half of a grunt. Is that all he has?

I don't think they were being insensitive I think they were trying to make a point and make it in a way that people would talk about it and their point is that guns are too easy to get they aren't trying to say guns should be banned since at the end they make fun of Marge for her "it's to violent" convo with Herman but they are saying children shouldn't be able to get guns, people who aren't in touch with reality shouldn't have guns, and to try and decrease the illegal gun traffic. Then maybe things like columbine, or the shooting during the batman movie are some examples wouldn't happen.

Nicely said.

Gun owners should be locked away in a mental home. They need therapy.

That might be taking it a bit far, unless you're being sarcastic in which case high five.

Honestly the dialogue is exactly the type of crap the NRA actually says so anyone who is offended by it should go look at Wayne LaPierre's speeches and you'll see thats actually what the NRA believes in. The writers are just using the NRA's and gun owners own words and thoughts to make a point. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion

Very good point.
