I think it's funny and a bit sad that they will take the "tools" they use to make millions of dollars and try to demean the rest of us that believe we have the right to have them.
Not to mention Sean Connery. He even went so far as to try to get BB and Pellet Guns outlawed in Scotland.

Bruce Willis: A gun guy - bones weep tedium - 05-09-2008
There is of course the argument that movies arent real, and that killing someone in a movie is not the same as killing someone in the real world . . . . but a lot of people are convinced that violent movies/games encourage violent behaviour in the people that watch them.
Sigourney Weaver is supposedly very anti-gun and had severe reservations about the violent aspects of Jim Cameron's Aliens . . . but I guess the squillions of dollars she got paid satisfied any moral reservations she may have had :crazy:

Back to the movies.
Unbreakable can be removed from the list.
Willis has a gun in it, doesn't use it but it is there.

The only scene that I can remember it appearing in is the scene when the little kiddie gets a hold of it. This scene is very dramatic and the gun is definitely the bad guy on the scene. I think that this still makes Unbreakable a film where BW doesnt like guns.

What's the point in that?
Libby Wrote:Can anyone here name a moving with Bruce Willis where he doesn't have a gun? I can't. Has anyone else noticed this?
Oh yeah, I guess I beleive you.
I thought you were thinking of films where Bruce Willis wields a gun, and I could see some significance in this. If he always uses a gun when he's being a hero, then is this really the source of his strength and masculinism?
Unbreakable would be an intersting film to assess whether it should be on the list or not becasue although he does own a gun he keeps it hidden away and the one time it is used in the course of the film it is used against him. Giving a gun this function in a story would establish the story as anti-gun.
But yeah, a gun does pass through his hands in Unbreakable. What of it? The entire film apart from that is gun less.
