I'd probably get more use out of the Wii and i wouldn't have to put up much more money yet to get one. A gun is going to cost me at least another $200+ yet plus the cost of ammo to get the one i want.

whats so weird about or are you just one of those anti-gun fvcknuts on this board that just likes to troll?

Errr, who's trolling? I don't think he's the only one who thought it was weird that guns were brought up in a Wii thread. Chill out dude. Wow, talk about jumping to conclusions.

i didn't say anyone was trolling, i was just asking if he was one of those types.
i'm talking about whether i want to buy a wii or another gun with my money. its not like i just started talking about a particular gun or something.

oh man u have me beat, this is the first one I will have bought since the my parents went all out and bought me the Colecovision following the Atari 2600

didn't mean to offend you bud, just thought it was a bit weird to have guns and wii in the same topic.

like if there was a poll that said 'are you going to buy a chocolate bar' and i said i was saving up my money for a bullet, just weird to me that's all. just subjective, sorry if you found it offensive
