Okay, you just killed a cop. What do you think happens next? Do you think its over and done with, just go home for the day? No, you are, at best, going to be arrested and put on trial for murder. It doesn't matter if you were justified or not. And when they arrest you, it will be at gun point. So, will you let them arrest you at gun point or will you start shooting the police again?
You're also assuming your some badass who will walk away without getting shot also or in any way injured. Not to mention the emotional toll of killing someone has on most people.
Trial for killing a cop in America? They going to send the entire department and turn you, your house, and family into swiss cheese.
You drive in the garage and give the stolen car a new paint job, and then you are back to zero stars.
Was it GTA we were talking about or real life?
The alternative is you're dead ..did u not read the story?
Okay so why have guns then for the average person when they don't get used to defend themselves against the governing forces at hand? Shooting at random adults and children is okay but shooting cops is over the line?
Shoot governing forces or ban guns is my point. And everybody replaying just ignores the ban guns part.
