Another mass shooting...

Don't you think it's interesting that the big media channels try to keep us against each other? Like making it seem that the movie was liberals hunting Trump supporters, or CNN trying to make us mad at Walmart for taking their game displays down. They all try to make the "other side" seem hypocritical, and they all deceive us. The more outraged we are, the more we tune in.

But that movie IS liberals hunting Trump supporters. Even in the script they call the Trumpers "deplorables".

If that is the case, then trumpers are clearly the good guys so idk why y'all are whining.

I was just being facetious about that bit, because whichever side is hunting the other there would be outrage. The original point is that NBC Universal is promoting this movie(involving guns and killing) while simultaneously promoting gun control and the like. Especially after the two recent mass shootings and the movie's political undertones.

The only thing these media companies care about is profit.

I see all these conservative talking heads calling this movie a liberal fantasy, but if that was the case the liberals would defeat the deplorables. This seems much more like a conservative fantasy, where they are the oppressed, they rise up, and they overcome the evil liberals.

Thank the lord it isn't straights hunting gays, now that would cause some drama lol.

Or whites hunting blacks.

True fact.

I just read a Fox article about the movie. Universal Pictures have paused the marketing campaign for the movie. Don't know how much good that's going to do, the right wing press are doing the marketing for them. Here we are, talking about a movie I never heard of until yesterday!

I've only saw the commercial for it the other day. And that article came up on my homepage.

In fairness, business plans that are made months in advanced, do not stop because of mass shootings.  Also, you can make movies with guns while your company supports gun restrictions.  Its a movie, not a political statement.

Hollywood(and liberals) want to infringe on the second amendment, so I wonder what would happen if Hollywood would not be allowed to have any guns in any of their movies? I wonder if they would accept their first amendment rights being infringed upon.

How can "Hollywood" infringe on the second amendment? It seems to me Hollywood loves guns. I think you are mixing up liberal actors with the corporations who hire them to act in movies.

Thank the lord it isn't straights hunting gays, now that would cause some drama lol.

Um. That was almost the exact premise of Get Out. I must have missed the outrage.

LOL what? You know movies don't typically use live firearms, right? This is just going from bad to worse.

Also if someone is not allowed to detonate a real nuke for their movie, or kill someone, this is not an infringement on their first amendment rights, that's such a confused interpretation.

And please stop pretending like it is somehow hypocritical to have guns in your movie if you support gun control. Again, it's like saying having murder in your movie makes you a hypocrite if you think murder should be illegal. It's so silly.

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/456962-studio-says-it-will-cancel-release-of-the-hunt-after-backlash

Universal Pictures says it is canceling the release of "The Hunt" following intense backlash from conservatives and President Trump over the politically charged violence depicted in the purported satire.

"While Universal Pictures had already paused the marketing campaign for 'The Hunt,' after thoughtful consideration, the studio has decided to cancel our plans to release the film," a Universal Pictures spokesperson told The Hill in a statement.

"We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film."

Alright, everyone can put away the smelling salts.

This is fucking bizarre.

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! We are in the weirdest timeline.

Hollywood(and liberals) want to infringe on the second amendment, so I wonder what would happen if Hollywood would not be allowed to have any guns in any of their movies? I wonder if they would accept their first amendment rights being infringed upon.

Yeah.... You're putting all actors (liberal and not) and directors (liberal and not) into one pot with producers and studios.  Now yes, I know Universal Studios is a person in the eyes of the law, but the Hollywood industry is not.  So please, don't lump everyone into an easy to hate category.  Its done enough already.

"I wanted to know if that Walmart honored the 2nd Amendment," he is quoted as saying in a police statement. He also said he did not expect people in Missouri to react they way they did. "I understand if we were somewhere else like New York or California, people would freak out."

So... apparently in Missouri, if you have a gun and walk into a walmart, people get scared.  Funny, huh?

And only pistols and shotguns.  So no ARs.

Right, pistols and shotguns don't hurt. It's the angry guns that attack people.

Your ignorance of items like clips or even speed-loaders is so quaint.

Dude with 3 firearms and body armor isn't heavily armed? You can do a lot of damage in a closed space with a shotgun. Luckily there weren't many people inside when he got in.

Seriously though, this bullshit is criminal, that idiot was trying to normalize people walking armed to the teeth in public, populated spaces without anyone caring, the only thing that this does is make the job of the next shooter much easier. Luckilly he failed. That is, if his account was true and he didn't actually want to shoot anyone before chickening out.

Then what do you all consider heavily armed vs armed?

If he had, say, a pistol and no body armor that's "armed".
