I loved Kyle's response. He basically said video games aren't real life and that there are all kinds of guns you can use in video games, so it doesn't make sense to tie them to his use of an AR-15. The prosecutors are such fucking retards.

Reminder that numerous scientific studies have debunked the "video game violence is related to real world violence" myth.

Anyone who suggests otherwise is a SCIENCE DENIER

If gamers see this clip, they're gonna side with Kyle (if they haven't already) and spark backlash against the left / democrats.

Normie gamers don't tend to care about much of what goes on in life, just so long as you don't fuck with their games, and that's exactly what they're trying to do by making games out to be a cause for violence, which will result in gimping games down to something suitable only a 5 year old could enjoy.

Did you see the Penn & Teller:Bullshit episode about video games? They had this kid who played FPSes all the time to a gun range and had him fire a real rifle. He took a couple shots and refused to fire more, and actually started crying.

I know he's talking about COD, but in Battlefield you can play as a medic and there's no requirement to shoot anyone

When the jury is about to declare their verdict, I really want the judge to look over at the foreman, point to the prosecutor and say, "FINISH HIM!"

I realize the prosecutor is just doing his job, but what a prick. The way he kept saying AR15 over and over again and then talked about missing bicep guy being no threat bc he only had a pistol. Fucking seriously? A pistol pointed at his head was not a threat bc he had a big bad AR. Wanted to strangle him by the end.

A prosecutor's nominal job is to advocate for justice. Binger and Tubby are advocating for anarchotyranny. They are vermin that are lower than the trash Kyle dropped in the street.

The way he kept saying AR15 over and over again

The left loves to fearmonger about the AR15, even though very few crimes are committed with it in comparison to other options, even among rifles. (The AR15 is an expensive weapon compared to a lot of other directly comparable weapons)

Many gun owners think this is because the left media are morons who single out the AR15 for demonization for being an 'evil black rifle' and looking scary.

I have another theory:

The AR15 is singled out for demonization because it is predominantly owned by whites.

I'd say it's singled out because it's a damn effective weapon. They don't want us having riot control capabilities.

There are an absolute litany of guns that would work just as well against unarmoured targets at point blank range.

Hell, even a machete would've worked for Kyle.

By that prosecutor's logic, there shouldn't have been any bruhaha about January 6, even if some rare people carried rifles: after all, the government has nukes, and those with the bigger gun automatically are immune to all damage from the smaller ones.

Appropriate that he talked about "violent video games" then, since that's complete video game logic. Byecep should've unlocked a bigger gun before deathmatching against someone in Kyle's rank.

The prosecutor isn’t doing his job he’s seeking a conviction not justice.

Also the prosecutor referred to fmj as the casing, not the bullet. It’s a despicable farce for retards.

I couldn't stop thinking about how bat shit they'd be going if he had used hollow point. This whole things a farce. And if I see one more fucking fake grandmother twitter account spamming the wisconsin judicial ethics page I'm gonna lose my mind.

And those are games in which you use weapons like AR-15s to pretty much shoot anybody who comes at you, correct?

Lets play a game with this statement, what do you use in you games?

I'll start with a few examples:

No, I use the 2A46M 125 mm Smoothbore cannon to shoot at retarded brazilian wehraboos.

No, I use an AER9 Laser Rifle to hunt the mutated animals of the Capitol Wastes.

No, I typically use the ancient language of the Dragons and the legendary sword Dawnbreaker to cleanse the land of vampires.

Now this statement brings me back to the beginning of gamergate, lol. Still making the same arguments, still showing how ridiculous these kinds of statements made by the prosecutor are so ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure that an AR15 won't be found in a COD or wargame because the military uses M16. Come to think of it I can't recall every having an AR-15 in any shooter I've ever played.

I think the closest I can recall is one of the rifles in new vegas but even then I’m pretty sure that was supposed to more so be based on the ar 10.

There is more than a few, Escape from Tarkov, being an example that immediately comes to mind. They just can't use EfT because it is somewhat obscure.

Problem is many boomers following the story are equally as retarded and so will believe the stupid fucker asking these questions. Likewise for non boomers who are so entrenched/indoctrinated at this point they only ever hear things that confirm their biases.

Is there even a game where the point is to just kill everyone? Even shooting games with “deathmatch” modes, that is rarely the point.

Ah, yes, using arguments from disbarred Jack Thompson. That's certainly a winning strategy.
