In a intelligence league today ( Dec. 21 ) , National Rifle Association Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre blame video - biz studio apartment and newspaper publisher for helping to make " literal monsters " like Adam Lanza , the 20 - class - old who killed 20 first - graders with an assault rifle in Newtown , Conn. , last hebdomad .
" There survive in this country , woefully , a callous , tainted and corrupting apparition industry that sells and stows violence against its own people , " LaPierre said .
A screen grab from the ‘No Russian’ level of ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.'
LaPierre gave five case of " vicious , red video games " : " Bulletstorm , " " Grand Theft Auto , " " deadly Kombat " and " Splatterhouse , " plus the obscure Flash - free-base on-line game " Kindergarten Killer . "
But there ’s one kind of violent picture secret plan LaPierre did n’t remark at all . Those would be military - themed shooters , such as the intimately - selling " Call of Duty " and " Medal of Honor " series , as well as the Pentagon - produced " America ’s Army . "
Unlike the games LaPierre did name , the military gunslinger beatify American soldier , boater , airmen and Marines , and the target being shoot at are Nazis , Russians , terrorists and zombies .
Retired service member serve as pay adviser to the game Lord , who endeavour to make the weaponry depicted as true - to - animation as possible . alive - duty members of Navy SEAL Team Six werepunished last monthfor consulting on " Medal of Honor : Warfighter . "
And , as mentioned , the U.S. Army get and disseminate " America ’s Army " itself as a recruiting and preparation tool .
Yet such secret plan are not without tilt . " Call of obligation : Modern Warfare 2 , " released in 2009 , contains an optional level called " No Russian " which realistically depicts a massacre of unarmed civilian in a Russian airport .
In the " No Russian " tier , the playable fictional character is an undercover CIA federal agent who has infiltrate a terrorist group and must take part in the massacre . The player can shoot and stamp out non - playable civilian case , although no points are awarded for doing so and no point are derive for not fire a weapon .
Anders Behring Breivik , the Norse spree killer who shot 69 citizenry , mostly teenagers , in July 2011 , afterward testified at his own tribulation that he used " Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 " to train himself to use holographicweapon wad .
So why did n’t LaPierre mention the individual game that has been once and for all connect to an incident of people killing , not to mention an entire class that trains players in the right treatment and use of military - score weapons ?
The NRA did not forthwith reply to a asking for commentary .
