The glorification of the gun and the power of one is a constant theme in both film and TV.
You have heard it said, "What if they gave a war and no-one came?"
How about- "What if they gave a war movie and no-one came?"
DUH, gun huggers masturbate over gun like porn.
I think it is way past time we stop filtering out gun death pictures. Yea give a warning before you show it sure.
The victims of the Holocaust after being freed by the Allies insisted that the piles of dead bodies not be filtered out. I think gun death should be treated the same way, not to outlaw all gun ownership, but insist that if someone is that insistent on owning one, they should be required to go to a morgue and view the body of someone who died by gun, be it accident, domestic murder, suicide, crime or mass shooting.
Guns are marketed like toys and they should not be.
I have never seen a gun death and I hope never to. I did however have a co worker witness a suicide. She was in her late teens, had a cousin who suffered from depression, got a hold of a gun, blew his brains out in front of her in the driveway. That fucked her up mentally as it would anyone. She went from being slim to overweight, I think the trauma caused her to use food as a way to cope.
I can tell you even without gun violence, I get scared shitless when my 82 year old mother shows a slight hint of anything minor. She's been through some health problems and that even without graphic violence depresses me.
