all those security system commercials!
how often will an ex kick in the door and then just run off cuz of an alarm?
even if...cops are 5-15minutes away when we can draw and end it in 5-15 seconds,and much more effectively than cops imo.
they are the most anti gun thing on tv i think,next to the news.
we should make one,showing the bg breaking into a home,raping a woman and killing her,even though she called police,which were 10 minutes away.
then have it show how it'd be with us.
broken in door,bg being an immediate threat....few loud bangs
bg lying dead in the hall,and 5 minutes later police show up and explain about what that bg did earlier that night to the first homeowner i mentioned,and saying the 2nd homeowner is lucky he/she was prepared to protect the family.

Signs starring Mel Gibson of all people. A family of farmers in rural Pennsylvania locks themselves in their basement to hide from aliens and they are armed to defend themselves with...nothing...not only are there no guns in the house, apparently they don't even have a pitchfork or a broomhandle. And not just this one family; after teh alien invasion ended the news reported that people were fighting back with primitive weapons, but not firearms.
If you've ever been in a Pennsylvania farm house, you've seen more guns than some small countries have in their armies. The opening day of deer season in Penna. sounds like WWII in the woods. If aliens were invading there'd be 3 or 4 of them cleaned and dressed in each barn within two hours.
M. Night Shyamalan has to answer for this discrepancy.

While the Lord of War, was written to be an ANTI gun film, for those of us that love guns, it's the most PRO GUN film ever made.

Iabsolutely agree. Every time I watch this movie, it drives me insane to see the depiction of defenseless Pennsylvanian's. Who would walk into a cornfield to investigate something in the dark without a weapon?

yup... i would have emptied a 30 round mag on that corn field before walking into it...If that was my farm house, the firefight that would have ensued would have been epic. The aliens would have had to call in air support...

Ah yes, one of Bill Duke's finer moments in acting. Love that movie.
:lol: You guys are too funny.
As for M. Night Shyamalan, he won't answer for any discrepancy as he probably doesn't see one. You all bring up an interesting point; come to think of it, Shyamalan often portrays guns in a negative manner or that they are not the answer.
As you all already mentioned, Signs, I won't expound on that further as I think you all have hilariously shown why.
Unbreakable: His son considers using a gun to test his dad's invincibility, the point was made clear by Shyamalan that GUNS are bad (the kid should have considered using a knife or even a needle!). Another scene from this movie, the guy in line at the ball game, has a concealed and holstered pistol, is perceived as a devious person who likes to wear outdoor-gear to a baseball game and he must be bad because of all that.
The Village (spoiler): Instead of taking up arms to protect themselves and their loved ones and live free in this country as they deserve, they instead rationalize the world as too violent and nasty for them and instead opt to spend exorbitant amounts of money to setup and conceal themselves (as prisoners in my opinion) in a village in the middle of national forest keeping it a secret from their off-sprung generations. Oh what's this? One of their own gets STABBED by a character with malicious intent.
The Sixth Sense (spoiler): Guns are bad because they may end up in the hands of a crazy person even one that has a known history and end up killing people.... and then themselves. And that would be bad, because you would end up walking around dead talking to stupid little boys that see dead people and you realize you're there forever until you pull a Quantum Leap and figure out how to let go.
Lady in the Water: In the opening scene, man is bad because we grew away from the Narfs (the what?) and became war mongers and violent towards each other (so what else was new Shyamalan). And as for that giant dog-thing... if you come up against an animal that size that wants to eat you, you bloody consider shooting it, not playing games with it.
The Happening: Guns are bad because you never know when plants.... are going to release a toxin turning us into suicidal people. I mean, come on, one gun could, you know, wipe out an entire group of people.....
Shyamalan = Lame

I agree with everything else you wrote about Shyamalan. I liked one or two of his movies, but they got lamer as he went on and I didn't even watch the Happening, after hearing reviews call it "The Crappening".
tekshogun wrote:
Even worse, the guy in the beginning lets his daughter die of a completely treatable illness because he can't expose the Village by seeking modern drugs. Think about that: Shyamalan places the "community" above the individual, even to point of letting your own daughter die a needless death! Certainly such a person would be prone to anti-gun thinking, since a gun is a tool which empowers the individual.

But I did like the classic line, "Which Rambo, I, II, III, or IV?" and it is in my dvd library.

Yes, it was definitely a very instructional video ... but it was all about the bad that guns do in the world and how America is a perpetrator of totalitarian regimes and ethnic cleansing by supplying the guns.

I thought the remake with The Rock was OK as a flick.
The original is very true to life and a very good watch.

RE: the movie Signs........Yes, I remember watching this movie on TV for the first time with my wife and commenting that Gibson must be the only farmer in the U.S. without a shotgun. But then she says that he is a Reverend and that is the reason for him not owning a gun. Left-liberal Hollywood always has an " out", don't they !
