Hollywood is the wokest place on earth regarding social responsibility, but when they try to lecture law-abiding Americans on firearms, it’s an absolute joke.
During a recent episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” with guest comedian Tim Dillon, Joe Rogan pointed out Hollywood’s hypocritical stance on firearms.
“Isn’t it f–king wild that Hollywood, in general, is very anti-gun, but they promote guns more than any other media on the planet? All their best movies, whether it’s ‘The Gray Man,’ or whether you’re watching ‘The Terminal List’ or ‘Mission Impossible.
“It’s all ‘Guns save the day.’ Guns kill aliens, guns kill werewolves, guns kill everyone. Everyone bad gets killed by guns … but guns are bad and you shouldn’t have guns.’ It’s crazy,” Rogan said.
Virtue-signaling celebs have no trouble profiting off movies featuring violence and guns. However, they love to criticize gun advocacy groups such as the National Rifle Association for making communities less safe.
Comedian Bill Maher on his show “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, recently pointed out that children “see 200,000 acts of violence on screens before the age of 18.”
Maher cited the FBI, who said the common denominator with signs of a school shooter is “fascination with violence-filled entertainment.”
Maher concluded: “It’s funny, Hollywood is the wokest place on earth in every other area of social responsibility… but when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence — crickets.”

I wonder if Justin is going to ban movies that show hand guns being used to shoot at people? To Kill someone? How about video games? Ban those too? Television shows? They all promote gun violence.
If you want to really do something about gun violence, then you have to do more than ban ownership of guns. You must ban all of the propaganda that glorifies the use of guns to settle score. To kill people.
But that would hurt the pocketbook of some of his corporate overlords. And we know that everything that politicians do is about money. How to take it from the pockets of the mass great unwashed majority and give it to the corporations and their wealthy owners., shareholders and board members. That is what government does. Transfer money from the pockets of the public to the pockets of the rich. That is all it does. Today, that is its only purpose.
