A member of the Encyclopedia Dramatica forums has created a game called Bullet to the Head of the NRA, a rudimentary first-person shooter that lets you shoot NRA boss Wayne LaPierre.

Released yesterday, Bullet to the Head of the NRA seems to have been designed just to piss people off. "Share this everywhere, especially gun-nut and anti-game websites," creator and forum user gizmo01942 writes. "Also see if you can't send it in to the NRA somehow, like through the feedback on their website or something."

I've played Bullet to the Head of the NRA, which you can download from the ED forums. It's very basic: you can move around a sniper rifle and shoot three NRA members on a stage as they talk about guns.

Once you start shooting, the crowd starts to scream. It's twisted. Made me want to take a shower.

I'm no fan of the NRA, but I think this is going too far. It's in incredibly bad taste to have a game where you're pretending to kill real people because of their politics.

1. This is down right dumb. I don't want the idiot to get shot. I don't want anyone to get

hurt.

6. I.Know.

Darn.Android.Keyboard.

I was being sarcastic to the way allot of DU users view things....I.E. If I don't like it, than all bets are off, and dirty tactics are preferred, and approved. While all the while being ready to scream bloody murder at ANY perceived slight, no matter how insignificant.

EDITED to add, I agree with you about the game..

Yeah but the irony is good for a nervous chuckle.
