Gun Control in GTA Online

[aquamop15]

We all know there's Ammu-Nations everywhere in San Andreas, but what if regulations were imposed on each one?What if your Character had to obtain guns in other ways, such as stealing shipments from rival gangs exclusively, or robbing them from the Ammu-Nations without buying them. How would this affect you game play style?

 

What if fictional U.S. Lobbyist Elizabeth Sloane was responsible for the heavy regulations on guns in San Andreas?

 

She might be the one responsible for the heavy regulations on firearms in San Andreas now, but is she too stupid to know that this only makes your illicit firearm gunrunning business even more lucrative or would you find her to be more of a nuisance as Guns for your Character personally might now be harder to obtain?

 

 

So, do you think your Character would let her have her way in the world of Lobbying, or would you attempt to stop her from imposing the regulations?

Would you find her actions actually leading to more profit for your Character or would you find them halting the process of the business you already have?

...Why do I feel like this is bait?

Odd thread. Glad this isn't a thing.

If gun control was a thing in LS, we'd probably still all have the same arsenal at this point, considering how old the game is and how frequently we'd rob convoys or the like. I don't think it'd matter much, but it might have made the early game a bit more fun.

[aquamop15]

Ugh, the whole point of this topic is to discuss as to what your Character's views on gun control would be? Would he/she be for it, as seeing as how it would make his/her own business more profitable as the guns he/she sells aren't sold in hunting shops or would he/she be against it out of principal?

 

If they were for the gun control with an agenda in the back of their head, would they work with Elizabeth Sloane (Who's from the movie Miss Sloane) and help her get the regulations going or not.

 

If so, how would you see your Character's interactions with Sloane be? This is no different than my "How would your Character Interact?" only this time with an actual subject that can have actual opinion and then continued with imagination and creativity.

 

This could be how your Character manipulates the system of San Andreas to your advantage etc, etc.

[Zader]

I would advocate for gun control in the world of LS.

It'd get more criminals off the street, and then back on the street to buy and sell my product at jacked up prices.

[SHADOW OPS]

Can I kill her so I don't play with restrictions?

 

Not a fan of this at all.

It shouldn't be odd considering how you were drooling over the thought of Malin Akerman on my last thread, which was completely unrelated to the topic. The fictional character of Elizabeth Sloane is the entire center of this thread, as she is the gun control lobbyist in the first place.

And I think a lot will consider this an interesting thread as they did my last one.

 

What exact point were you trying to make?

[SHADOW OPS]

I said I would seduce her and then kill Axe. Heretofore she is now my wife.

 

I think I am using the word correctly.

I think, that he thinks, this thread is perhaps designed to devolve into a debate huge mess about real world gun control. I dunno, the thread is just weird enough that I guess it's possible.

 

My character wouldn't mind lmao he could jack up his gunrunning prices.

[spincther]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......................no

No, I'm sorry, I see exactly what you meant now. The concept of Gun Control in GTA Online is odd, not the Jessica Chastain. It's just that pedinhuh apparently thought this was meant to be some type of "I love Jessica Chastain thread"(Which I do, but that's not the point of this thread).

It's quite clear what the concept is, Gun Control in GTA Online.

 

I'm sorry again, man.

[J-Scott-D]

Didn't read, lol.

 

You could shut down every gun store in the USA and we will still get them. Ammo, too.

[jwdrinkwaterjr]

I'm trying to think of a dated cliche to insert here.

[Prince_Polaris]

There's a black market for everything these days, probably has better prices too lmao

[Happy Hunter]

Well I would still have my current guns, or would find ways to get guns easily. Which just shows it doesn't work; we're going to get them anyway.

 

I'm the Governor anyway, according to that contest last year. So I'd just shut down her attempts.

 

Need more hardware; not less. Bring in some attack vehicles.

No worries. I wouldn't be a fan of gun control and would look for ways to circumvent it.

I am a Trump Supporter bro, I made the thread. But this isn't meant to be political, it's strictly to the fictional world of San Andreas.

[FrugalDangerMan]

I'd let Jessica Chastain take control of my gun any time she asked.

 

Mmmm...gingers.

[Dacelo]

We need thread control for topics like these, tbh.

[Skeve613]

Cargobobs don't use guns, so this is a non-issue for me as long as I stick to dropping boats on people instead of shooting them.

 

 

Unless carrying angry Rhino Tanks stolen from Zancudo counts, of course...

[FlacidJack]

I am all for gun control in GTAO, that's why I support the free aim lobby.

 

See what i did there?

[seven50iL]

This is why I didn't vote for Sue Murry

[Pedinhuh]

Seems like the thread is serious, so I gonna give it my two cents on it:

 

I don't advocate for gun control laws in real life, so neither would I advocate for it in video games.

 

But I can see my character advocating for it.

 

Why? More customers would to his gun running business, which means more clients, and more profits, plain and simple.

[Watain]

No... My character don't wanna steal anything called called and/or considered a "shipment" from other players ever again. Had enough of that, like, a year ago already. Then add the last year on top of that fatigue.

 

No gun controls. If there are loads of guns on the streets (NPC:s and players), then we must have the right to defend ourselves, right? Guns don't kill people, people do. (lol)

The way my characters feel about gun control is "use both hands". The laws dont matter to criminals and my male was a machinist in the Navy, he can just make his own. My female has had the "U.S. war department improvised munitions handbook" memorized from front to back since age 10. If she needs a gun, she can make one from wood, twine, rubberbands, and an aluminum tube. Both would move in on Sloane, keep your enemy's close, and they'd want to be close as possible.

[tommyguns]

My character doesn't sell guns, so he wouldn't be effected by it. And if he needed to buy guns....well, prohibition doesn't work, never has. If people want something badly enough & have the cash in hand, there will always be someone there to sell those goods, legal or not.

[Spadge]

Gun control would be a great thing. I am getting tired of these pesky law abiding citizens up in Sandy & Paleto shooting back at me when I try to jack their ride, rob a store or just start a mass shooting. Guns are not a right but a privilege. A privilege for murderous psychopaths like me to run a muck without facing resistance. Respect my inviduality and my safe environment people!

 

 

 

Didn't read, lol.

Yeah man! Keeping it real

 

... real dumb.

I mean, most of our characters are pretty high on the criminal food chain. We are literally gunrunning since the last update so it wouldn't be hard to get guns. My character owns all of his firearms, even AA rockets, but I don't know how that sh*t got legal though, even if all of it gets taken away I would just go into my bunker, empty some crates and write them off as a failed gunrunning mission. Also, Lamar was kind enough in the intro to give us an untraceable pistol, it would be a good start I guess. I would just do missions and kill people who have better guns, than mine and steal theirs. If Lamar wouldn't give me a firearm at the start I would just do a repo for Simeon and knock the guard for his pistol and then just do what I said in the other scenario.
