In retrospect, this was probably not the best week to show off a virtual reality first-person shooter at a big news-making event, much less one where the National Rifle Association unloaded some fiery rhetoric about gun rights.

Either way, Facebook showed and then pulled Bullet Train, which has been an Epic Games proof-of-concept VR demonstration for about three years, from a booth it was staffing at the Conservative Political Action Conference. This is the leading gathering of the nation’s conservative thought leaders.
