No. They aren't. But I am really not arguing. Just analyzing.

I know people use knives to commit crimes as well but the numbers are very, very low in America. The truth is that shooting someone is very real and very ugly. Disney has chosen to keep the game at E-10 and to keep the "gun violence" confined to the Undead and the monsters. I have no problem with that because I know that if I want to play a shooting game, there are plenty out there.

By asking the POTCO developers to include living-on-living gun play, we are really asking them to raise the ESRB rating to "T" and that is simply not in Disney's best interest because, face it, it's a kid's game.

I think we should ban guns here in america, if they did, people wouldn't need to worry about protecting them selves. And the murder rate would drop!

That wont fix any problem we have in America. There will still be terrorism, killings, stabbings, ect. If someone came up to you with a knife, you have to protect yourself thats why we have guns.

Good point, but if someone came up to you with a knife, just get a kitchen kinfe. what i'm saying is if we ban guns, we wont have to worry about murder as much.

I'm gonna point you to a little thing called The Constitution, more specifically, the Second Amendment.

And Jello is right as well. It won't fix problems.

But back on to the original topic, it's all about what Disney wants the rating to be. Yes, kids will play games far above their rating. However, if Disney wants to draw more in, they can't have it too high, and therefore cannot let in shooting of real people.
