The NRA Is Tone Deaf and Apple Ignores the Music



So have you heard the latest kerfuffle surrounding the NRA. I know, I know, it is hard to keep track but they might have topped themselves. Not satisfied to be in bed with gun manufacturers and evidently resistant to common sense measures on gun safety that most of their members endorse the group has now done something I defy anyone to justify.

What is so bad. More bad than usual I guess is what I mean to say?

Well they have created, endorsed, and are currently marketing an App that allows people, it is aimed at children, ages four and up it proudly suggests, to fire an assault weapon at a target. What might that target be. Just to make sure to be as offensive as is humanly possible, the targets are coffins.

No matter what you think of gun control, no matter which side you are on can you tell me how, in what way, can the folks at the NRA think this is a good idea.

It is simply beyond comprehension.

An additional note should be added. Perhaps someone should tell the fine folks at Apple that if they are very concerned about sexuality in apps, they might want to consider their association with Wayne Lapierre and his friends. Some might think that marketing a game such as this would represent a poor choice on their part as well.
