swingin' dick hero - yeep, but only in the USA - where EVERY IDIOT can get a gun - in Poland we havo ZERO shoting psychopats, cause it's almost imposible for a normal citizen to get a gun, well if you're hunter and don't have any crime record, than you'll get a hunting gun but you have to have permission from the police, and go thru psycological tests etc., and we have LESS MURDERS IN A YEAR IN WHOLE 40 MILION POLAND THAN U HAVE IN LOS ANGELES ALONE IN A MOUNTH !!!! You gotta be an idiot to think that games, or ANYTHING else is responsible for thouse murderous raids in USA, THIS IS 100% "everybody can get a gun" policy fault !!! I repeat - 100% !
Yes, you guys have very strict gun laws in Poland which would probably explain why you guys get invaded and occupied everytime a war breaks out in Europe. Maybe if Poles had the right to bear arms like we do in our constitution like we do Poland wouldn't be the only country with more war losses than France.
P.S. Yes, we seem to do murder quite well in the US, but at least we're smart enough not to let twin brothers who resemble Creed Bratton run our country.
Fully agree Adam, A population without guns is just waiting for the next invasion. "get" probably thinks the EU will stop the next invasion LOL ! or maybe the UN ! ROFL!!!
@ get
If Putin and the Russians ever truly go nuts and invade Eastern Europe, bringing them to Poland's border with thousands of tanks and troops, there's only one force on the planet Earth that could and would stop them. Those idiot American gun loving psychopaths.
There would be no Poland without the Americans. But maybe you're one of those Sieg-Heil loving Polish skin head bastards who would have preferred a Hitler victory.
@setclock, you americans did not win the war, you did not obtain the enigma machine from the germans and no body wants to invade you beacuse what do you have of value? The British did most of it, you americans just helped, pitty some of you have such a poor education that you think otherwise... hollywood isnt always right! Also It was the british who promised to protect poland... not America, the US had to be attacked before you did anything about the Axis!
Ok, next time we'll let Brittain develop a new super weapon and drop it on the enemy. You guys sure woulda been fine without us.
I think the real point they were trying to make is that, contrary to that unprovoked verbal assault by that idiot polish douchebag, it is better to be a gun toting american psycho than a pushover pussy pole.
Thats all fine and dandy, Lennox. But then you would HAVE to live in POLAND. I'd rather take a chance of some kid with a gun killing me, than live in that fucking place. 100% true!
Last time I checked, the US was fighting a war on two fronts, with the japanese front being more demanding than the european front.
@americans
Last time I checked, Germany was also developing the same technologies for nuclear wess- I mean, weapons.
The british needed the US forces to help win the fight, and both fought evenly. The brits would've been defeated without american assistance, and vice versa. The RAF and USMC won the fight.
Wow how did we go from a kid getting a Wii, to PS3 flame wars and USA gun control? Geez, people, get a fucking life, its a kid that got a Wii. Share his excitement for once.
how does the right for citizens to bear arms (no, not those kind of arms, hehe) prevent a country from being invaded? isnt that the purpose of a government military?
The US Founding Fathers gave it's citizenry the right to bear arms NOT to protect itself against a burglar entering through your bedroom window, but to protect itself against it's own government. They -the founding fathers- viewed the concept of a nation where only the government/military has arms as a system too dangerous and too prone to use it's military against it's own people. To assume that all you need is a government-controlled well armed military to protect you ignores all threats to freedom from within.
@Britain
After Germany finished bombing most of your islands airfields you were pretty much finished. Your transition to night-time air raids over Germany was to little affect other than reducing your air looses. Without the MASSIVE influx of new American supplies given to the Allied powers including thousands of vehicles to Stalin, Germany would have held most of it's occupied territories for decades and Stalin and the commies would have ended up in the Urals killing each other in droves.
Not to mention how America's continued isolationism would have provided Germany just a little more time to develop the nuclear technology they were very close to acquiring.
You guys would have been more than screwed without us, but you keep believing it's our Hollywood movies telling us so if it makes you feel better thinking Brittan could have gone it alone and saved Europe "eventually".
I disagree with the Poland guy's comments as far as the gun violence problem in the United States. I think the problem is a societal one, involving cultural issues, poverty, inner city problems, etc. it has nothing to do with the availability of firearms. They just make the violence easier to commit. I'm a Liberal with a capital L, but I believe in the responsible ownership of firearms as a fundamental right.
That said, your "you guys have very strict gun laws in Poland which would probably explain why you guys get invaded and occupied everytime a war breaks out in Europe." is just idiotic. A bunch of citizens with hunting rifles are going to do shit in a modern war. This isn't the freaking revolutionary war!
Poland's defeats, like other small countries in europe had to do with having a smaller military, both troops and equipment. The country itself has less than 1/2 the population of Germany, and 2/3 the population of the UK.
@Adam, Lennox and the rest Both you guys are talking like a pair of drunk ****s. I'm a Pole, but how on earth I could say that anything's wrong with Americans, while MY OWN ****ING SOCIETY made some mentally retarted midget a president. But hey, the Poles are getting smarter (really!) and these idiots won't be in charge no more, don't you worry about that. My point is, that there are many jerk nationalists in Poland; there's too much I'd to say about stupidity of Poles to make it quick for a comment under some news on engadget, so let's get to something else. SO: Poland is NOT AS CRAPPY as you guys might think (that's for you, Adam). Really, try visiting silesia, not WARSAW which is the nest of the biggest morons in this country. But honestly, there is no place in Poland without any idiots. Check out some info about the city I live in http://www.rybnik.pl/index.php?id=205 (don't worry, it's in english).
And guys... remember, we LOVE America. Some ****tards are too damn conceited to admire that, but we do. Sure thing that you're not PERFECT, but nobody is. Give up the fight guys, save your nerves.

he looks evil
In the future that'll be the same kid that shoots his family for not letting him play as a punishment.
Exactly, can you imagine what he would have done had he not got it? I can picture him setting fire to the place.
Should be the lead role in a new adaptation of the Excorsist.

@get/lenox, way to loose any credibility. good job there.
Hate to say it but when it comes to war it's the idiot gun lovers who save the pacifists.

Why are you morons going about American gun murders when this kid is a Canadian?
