The game, "Active Shooter," was pulled off the shelf ahead of its release date by the first developer, but I would not be surprised if another publisher steps up to release it.
As P.T. Barnum said, no one ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of Americans.

It was actually H.L. Mencken and the real quote was Quote
I'm not trying to play gotcha here, just correcting the record.
As to the video game. I wouldn't want it banned, but that game is disgusting and the creators should be ashamed.
It and stuff like it should be banned. It and stuff like it are not a "freedom" issue
Not sure why OP singles out "Americans". Stuff like this finds lamers everywhere in the world.
Then, of late seems there are a lot of America-hating Americans .. . seems the cool way to be, eh?

Hating America is a favorite pastime among the progtards in the world, even those in America (why don't they just leave?)

Yeah, I've long known of the dispute about who said it and I've researched it myself. It's correct to attribute the idea -- and the long form of the quote you showed -- to Mencken, and probably he said it first.
But Barnum was a showman, not a writer, and evidently he did borrow the idea but spoke of taste rather than intelligence. That, too, is documented (but later.)

No reason, really...except the protest and petition against it by the Sandy Hook parents, and my choice of the quote.

True, There are a lot places attributing that particular quote or something similar to Barnum as well. I have certainly read and heard over the years he had a similar sentiment about average people.
Often with these old quotes its hard to tell who said what, or even if they said it all.

It wouldn't bother me if it was banned.
I remember when the 'we know whats best for you' brigade kicked up a stink about Manhunt, well I played it, enjoyed it and guess what? I haven't gone out and embarked on a killing spree as yet.......
Quote from: "SCOUSE"
But, you stopped playing it SCOUSE.
:laugh:
I played it again recently actually, you should treat yourself and the kids one night and have a go of it after prayers. ac_biggrin

Thank you for the kind suggestion SCOUSE.

If this game had not been given publicity, not many would have bought it, or even heard about it. Some low budget, graphically inferior game most likely full of glitches isn't high on a gamers 'must have' list no matter what the theme.
Now people will want it, because it's banned.

Feel free to add some content to my thread, if you have any.
If ever a videogame deserved a ban this one does. however, often when you give the government the power to ban things they tend to get banhappy and and go after things they shouldn't.

Give them a little control and they demand more..
I get what your saying, but some things should be banned in my opinion only.

If they banned this game, and it was guaranteed they would stop there, I would have no problem with it.

Nobody can guarantee that anymore than they can guarantee imposing a carbon tax on Canadian working families will stop climate change.
