Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Other countries also have Call of Duty, but not such a big problem with mass shootings. So I don't think its that easy. I think it is more interesting, what the NRA is doing. Such a big and powerful lobby organization should have way more influence, than a video game series.
As I mentioned to the other replier, other countries don't have the mass promotion of gun violence coupled with the ready access to an incredible variety of firearms.

You mean the organization that is basically bankrupt and at it's peak spent 5million dollars over a year lobbying? You think they have more influence then a "video game series" that is owned by a company that has around 25billion in assets?
