I'm antigun to the furthest extreme... I don't think there's ever a need for one... have never touched one and will never touch one... The day my country forces me to take up arms to defend it would be the day I killed myself.. but on from that...
While I find this website humerous, I don't see it as a big deal... Especially considering it's the US. If this was the worst thing that people did there, America might be seen around with world in a more positive light. It's a controlled environment... regardless of whether or not it's hacked.. I'm sure you are quite limited in your actions with the gun and that there's a hardware safety in place... If not... there's always the option of pulling the plug.
Now for my main comment (BTW this whole thread belongs in cosmos)... anyways.. There's no need for American police officers to carry guns... The US is definately overrun with nut jobs, however the majority of them are officers of the law.. 130 cops were killed... how many innocent people did they fire at?? How many people have they killed.. If you shoot someone... you deserve to be shot.. I don't care if you're 12 or 20... a civilian, a cop or a member of the armed forces... I'm Canadian, but I've been to the US on numerous occasions (growing up on the border does that to you)... American Police officers are the most arrogant, obnoxious, stuck up sons of bitches to walk the face of the earth... There's no justification to give them anything more than a ballpoint pen..
Peace,
