I’m sure that is what the founding fathers had in mind.

Forget about PlayStation 2 – a Texas entrepreneur wants to kick computer gaming up to the next level by offering players a chance at some real-live killing via mouse and modem.

John Lockwood, who’s already hooked up guns to the Internet to let faraway users shoot targets on his Texas ranch, is set to let fans shoot live game through his Web site, live-shot.com.

This is just sick. If you want to hunt, by all means. If you are too lazy to get off your fat ass and hunt, and do so over the internet, perhaps you need to be on the other side of that target. How is THAT for a rant. Tell me what you think!

    I can’t believe they do the target practice thing let alone the idea of hunting via the net. I’m with you!

    This is probably one of the most amoral and perverse ideas I have seen dregged up in a long time… I am not a hunter but I will concede that an argument for hunting both as a recreation (one I don’t personally care for) in season as well as hunting as a survival mechanism can be made… This idea however has nothing to do with that…. This is just a scheme by one guy who has some software and network training of some kind to fleece money out of couch potatoes who are either too lazy or too ignorant to know how to hunt in the outdoors…. The guy is planning to charge thousands of dollars for people for this ‘activity or service or whatever you want to call it’… Fortunately real hunters who go out in the woods and hunt game under the acceptable rules of hunting that exist are incensed enough about this lamebrained scheme that they are writing to the legislature in Texas which is where this notion sprang from to nip this idea in the bud before it gets off the ground. I hope they are successful. Aside from the obvious sense one gets that this is somehow ‘cheating’ in the world of game hunting, the very idea of importing this videogaming concept from the arcade to this activity is just way seriously wrong and has disturbing potentials down the road for society in other ways too numerous to go into here. But just as an example, how long will it be before some crazy figures out how to set up a remote sniper site near a freeway that this nutjob could control from anywhere including out of the country… This is just scary as hell, and networking technology should not as a matter of course be allowed to be implemented in this way by civilians… There is as greater societal imparitive here that should be protected and should take precidence over the profit motive imparitve which is, granted, also a part of out society as well…..
