I agree with you 100% These Hollywood Hypocrites make me sick. I would even go as far as no allowing any shows that show any violence.

Hollywood’s main premise for guns is that they are critical for self-defense.

Have you ever noticed how most movies and TV shows end happily after a good guy with a gun solves the problem?

I just watched the remake of “Death Wish”
Not a bad flick but you got the impression all you needed to do was walk into a gun store IN CHICAGO and walk out with a full auto machine gun.

There were at least three in the movie.

“I do not believe violence in films leads to violence in real life.”

Uh.. Has this loon ever heard of _advertising_? The US probably spends more on commercial advertising on television alone than the GNP of several countries combined.

I do not believe that violence in films and on television leads to violence in real life.

I disagree, Rickey boy, as long as we are talking about the modern incarnation of the Hollywood sleezeball trash.

You don't give them the credit they deserve, they're far more deliberately evil and anti American than you evaluate.

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but that one thing I’ve found strange is that fully automatic rifles have been prohibited through grandfathering in Canada since 1978 and in the United States effectively so since 1986 and yet Hollywood continues to depict the violent use of them in their movies. This despite the fact that no legally owned fully auto has been used in the commission of a violent crime in both the United States or Canada.

***whose biggest money makers are ultra-violent action movies***
it wasn’t this way till 1968 when the movie industry said it would “police itself” with a joke of a ratings system, to prevent government regulations from doing it. Before this time movies had violence so mild you could drop your kids off and know they would not be traumatized.
After this they reshot scenes to ADD more blood and guts, along with lots of explicit sex to get the coveted “R” and “X” ratings.
