Oh Boy, Here we go...
Video sim's, IMHO, have an outstanding position in military, LEO and civilian training applications. When I was growing up, I had to have the Double Holster set of Hopalong Cassidy 6 shooters. But as I got got older the training kicked in and never point a sidearm at people. The new videos do a great job of placing you behind the trigger, but don't show the ramifications of that trigger pull. Or the ramifications of being shot. If you get shot in the video, simply restart the game, no fear of lose. (Do you think a game would sell well if when shot the player can not restart the game for a week or so?) Some people do not have a problem drawing the line between fantasy and reality, but others add drugs or booze and that line is pretty cloudy. Am not a big fan of these games for kids, no not really...
I have to do some looking around, I can not remember who/when it was, but a gaming company was defending itself based on 1A... and at the same time very anti 2A. Sorta like Hollywood.
