Don't Tell Apple: Reject the NRA's New Shooting App
Such apps are an exercise of the freedoms we all know and love. No one is forcing anyone to download an use the apps. Common sense would tell you, if you don't like such games don't use them. It's as simple as that.
Why is this important?
The app, released for free on the Apple iTunes store Sunday, provides news and information for the organization, but also includes a 3D shooting simulation that the gun advocacy group says “ instills safe and responsible ownership through fun challenges and realistic simulations.”
Gamers can choose between 3 environments including a skeet shoot and 9 firearms, but further weapon upgrades can be bought for $0.99. The current top in-game purchases are the Colt Pistol along with two sniper rifles, the MK11 and Dragunov SVD.
The app’s main menu provides information for gun safety, NRA news, hunting season and relevant legislation.
The official description claims the app “strikes the right balance of gaming and safety education, allowing you to enjoy the most authentic experience possible.’
