    Video games have been teaching kids about the right to bear arms (as in blow away anything that moves) for years, but it still seems odd to find a target shooting game sponsored by the National Rifle Association. Developer Crave stresses the "non-violence"  of NRA Gun Club -- but you don't have to be Sarah Brady to find that ironic given the "100 faithfully recreated firearms," including everybody's favorite plinko pistol, the Intratec Tec-9. With a graphical  upgrade and perhaps a voice-over by Charlton Heston, Gun Club would  be a great Xbox Live Arcade title, but instead its shot-to-hell visuals are likely to be forgotten during the PS2's waning summer. Too bad. You can never be too careful with that virtual shotgun.
