Another of the obvious plots: shoot up (or toss bombs, or suicide-bomb, or carbomb, or...well, you get the point) a Black Friday opening line or three on the east coast at a big box store.
That's not effective terrorism. No one will know if it was a terrorist attack or someone just wanted to thin the line to get to the linens department before the good stuff was picked over.
It's not *that* difficult to learn right-handedness, at least for video games.
I agree, it's not hard to learn to get a basic level of coordination down. It's also hardly frustrating when it's something you're doing voluntarily as a trick.
But it is incredibly difficult to master. And it stops being fun when time after time, you're put in a situation where your learning curve for a given activity is much higher because the native dexterity just isn't there in the wrongly assumed hand.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is all the yelling the lefties are doing in the comments of this post isn't actually about this game and this game only. The actual fuel to the aggravation you're seeing is from all the other times they've been put in a situation that says "you are not worth considering as a use-case scenario".

How many households have real guns? Now, how many households have a computer or gaming console? Yeah, I thought so. The target is where it should be.
Those questions don't paint a picture nearly as impressive as you think it does. According to http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp 40-45% of households have a gun. So even if we assume just about everyone has computer or game console, every other person also has a gun in their home. Half is hardly a fringe situation.
Besides, asking for simple parental involvement (which any good parent would have NO issues doing so)[...]
I smell a no true scottsman in that statement. You can't know what you put in the parenthetical simply because everyone's interpretation of good parent is different.
[...]is hardly stepping on any Constitutional Rights, which do come into play when you start talking about real guns.
It's not that hard to make a 1st amendment issue out of this. Why does the medium matter; why not books? After all, what good parent wouldn't shield their child from violence of every medium. Could you imagine how horrible a parent would have to be, not only to not be concerned, but encouraging their child to read about mass genocide by drowning and billing it as a good thing? (Gilgamesh and some derivative hack work comes to mind... on an unrelated topic, can I mod myself flamebait?
