Music videos?

Also, I believe MTV came out with a rule against guns in videos some time in the early-90s. Though there are still plenty of videos that were not made for MTV airtime that have them...

We already decided long ago (though not without some dissenting voices) that we're not a political site, so politics do not factor in this debate. There are movies and TV shows with anti-gun messages that have been given IMFDB entries.
