Anti Gun movies

MacGyver had at least one episode where Mac explained his thoughts on the second amendment, saying that he felt it was about military, not private citizens, and that gun ownership should not be allowed.

But I believe it was discussed in a few episodes. It was more than a plot device.

OK then, that definitely is not cool...we can add "MacGyver" to the list of anti-gun media, if only as an "honorary" member.

But usually, when somebody says "anti-gun" movie, I think of a movie where the entire purpose of the screenplay is to rail against gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment, or where guns are heavily demonized. Movies like "Liberty Stands Still" and "Strapped" epitomize this.

I remember a line from Legion (yes, it was a terrible movie), but one line where one guy asked another why he had a gun and he said for protection. And then the other guy asked "Protection against what?"...That is the stupidest liberal gun question I have ever heard.

I don't think that was a "liberal gun question". What he was really trying to get at is who Tyrese Gibson's character was...a "gangsta" who needed protection from other thugs in his "hood". I don't think it was meant to be political.

Sure, the guy does have the look that he used to be a gangsta, but the question itself "Protection from what?" That question is always asked by people who thinks guns don't belong in civilian hands. They ask why need a gun?

Those people think that law enforcement works like I dream of Jeannie where you blink your eyes and the police are there to protect and serve. When in fact, they show up 20min after you already bled out. I on the other hand protect myself and use law enforcement for clean-up.

Nobody who has ever killed anybody in self defense talks like this.

"American President" with Michael Douglas

"The other piece of legislation is the crime bill. As of today, it no longer exists. I'm throwing it out. I'm throwing it out and writing a law that makes sense. You cannot address crime prevention without getting rid of assault weapons and hand guns. I consider them a threat to national security, and I will go door to door if I have to, but I'm gonna convince Americans that I'm right, and I'm gonna get the guns."

What? the part about thinking the police can actually protect you or the part about a person prtecting themselves (kill or be killed) and then calling the police to handle the paper work and everything else that goes with a dead body.
