I saw this video that was quite powerful - came across it when looking at some GTA V videos on YouTube.

Link: https://youtu.be/kQK874rvQBQ

It's Michael De Santa (or Ned Luke IRL) and he clearly supports gun control, which is a good thing IMO.

He makes the people who enter the 'store' think more deeply about the history of each type of weapon they are interested in.

The gun culture of America is so ingrained and politicized that there isn't even a proper conversation allowed on the pros and cons of gun ownership by ordinary citizens.

Before people jump on Luke about "hypocrisy", he is free to have his opinion no matter what he portrays in a video game.

What do you guys think of this video and Ned Luke's stance on gun control given the fact that he plays a ruthless mass murderer in a video game (GTA V)?

He maybe free to have an opinion but that does not means others are not free to criticize and attack that opinion, i.e. point out his hypocrisy.

I don't find hypocrisy. Michael is an ass of a character whose life is a failure. Guns never work out well for him. He'd do much better without them 😀

You know that the store didn't really exist as a gun store right? And that those were all actors?
 
How is an actor playing a character they don't agree with "hypocrisy"? Anthony Hopkins doesn't actually kill and eat people; what a hypocrite.
 
If there was a gun shop that only sold guns "used" in that way, you could probably get some good deals. I would pay for a exorcism though before taking it home.
 
ya only a criminal Michael Da Santa would want to take guns away from law abiding citizens.

Look at what drug control has done to drugs. Created profit for the government mainly the police and arrested people that what to kill others and them self's. And don't tell me drugs don't kill people they do.

Yeah well, if you are so confident about that, why don't you invite Hopkins over for dinner?

huh?

Why not? Go ahead, we're waiting! :colbert:
 
An interesting point is that in New York state it's actually illegal for a person who has no pistol permit to even touch a pistol, so unless all of those were non-functional prop pieces (and if they were, they couldn't have been the actual guns they claim to have been), there were multiple felonies in that video.

Lmao opening a store like that in NY is like preaching to the choir. Opening it in Georgia would've taken balls.

That's my plan, be a fat old bastard to discourage cannibals. Best think about your cholesterol, Tony boy.
