It is with great regret that I learn of Hasbro’s plans to market the game of Clue without the revolver. That little gun was one of my favorite game pieces of all time, second only to the iron in Monopoly. (I’m not talking about the lame card at left, by the way, but the little metal gun that looked like you could load it with little metal bullets).
Getting rid of the gun is a puzzling choice by Hasbro, since statistics indicate that firearms remain a favorite means of homicide among Americans. Certainly guns figure in more slayings than trophies, dumbbells and poison, all of which Hasbro has seen fit to add. If the company really wanted to bring the game into the 21st century, it might have changed the gun to a Glock 19 and added a pimped-out Escalade as one of the rooms. Now we’re talking murder, baby.
They’ll be back
What sort of guns should lunatics own?
People kill people. With guns.
Ain’t a thing we can do
I got rid of that gun too soon
this is why politically correct has got to go
