A Tale of Two Faces: Actor Who Glorifies Gun Crime in Video Game Stars in Gun Control Video
NRA-ILA ^ | 3-25-15 | nra-ila

Last week, we reported on how the attention-starved gun control group, States United to Prevent Gun Violence (SUPGV) claimed to have deterred first-time gun buyers in New York City with a hidden camera stunt at a phony gun store. Some astute observers later noticed that the actor hired to portray the clerk of the fraudulent gun store was Ned Luke, the same performer who voiced one of the lead characters in the popular and graphically violent video game, Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V). This fact was later confirmed in an article on WashingtonPost.com’s Wonkblog.

In his role for SUPGV, Luke posed as a gun store proprietor and exploited the unfamiliarity many Manhattanites have with firearms. The resulting video shows Luke conveying stories to wide-eyed “customers” about how the different types of firearms in the “store” were involved in tragic or criminal episodes.

Ironically, Luke’s GTA V character is Michael De Santa, a briefly reformed gangster who gets pulled back into a life of crime. Players taking on the role of De Santa are tasked with missions that have them carrying out all manner of nefarious activities involving gunplay, including armed robbery and assassination. When the fictional police of the game attempt to apprehend the character, players are often required to shoot their way through the digital law enforcement ranks. Perhaps even more ironically, one of the criminals Luke mentions in his role as gun store proprietor was himself an avid fan of violent role-playing video games, the same genre as GTA V.
