Is "Shoot 'Em Up" anti-gun?
"dirty harry" over at Libertas, the neoconservative Hollywood gadfly site, is bitching about the pro gun-control message of the movie Shoot 'Em Up, which I gave a positive review to here on Sunday. Hmm. From a Left Libertarian perspective, "harry" seems to miss a few important points. First, the anti-gun senator in the film is a goddamn baby-marrow harvester, slaughtering infants and their mothers to keep himself alive. Not a particularly sterling character and certainly not a "good guy." And second, the big gun manufacturer in the film is in cahoots with government bureaucrats to crush his opposition and competition.If you're an action geek, see the movie. I doubt your libertarian sensibilities will be terribly rattled.

Are you serious? The phrase "pussy with a gun" is repeated over and over. I am a libertarian too and it was pretty easy to see that this was a movie with good action/man-movie potential that was ruined because someone wanted to stick in an anti-gun message and take cheap shots at gun owners. "What do you think of a pussy with a gun?" "You can turn from a pussy into a man..." "what do you think of the second amendment now?". It was ridiculous.
It won't truly have success, I suppose this way.
Thanks so much for your post, pretty helpful information.
It can't work in actual fact, that's what I think.
This is an interesting..... great information found here... Thanks very much!
