In a new video that blasts Hollywood for its bias against guns and its purposeful misleading of the public on the issue, John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center uses clips from various TV shows to show exactly how deep the bias is and how the animus toward guns is redolent within Hollywood.
Lott begins, “Hollywood hates guns. Well, They like them in shoot-em-up movies. But as soon as it comes to a good civilian using a gun for self-defense, Hollywood turns anti-gun. Hollywood constantly portrays people who hate guns.”
Clips from various shows follow, with statements including, “I’m not a huge fan of weapons,” “Now do you see why I don’t like guns,” and “I don’t like guns either.”
Lott continues, “In Hollywood, even Navy Seals warn against owning guns … the wise law enforcement experts constantly urge people not to use them.” A clip shows a law enforcement agent saying, “In my experience the problem with carrying a gun is that eventually it will go off.”
Lott states, “But Hollywood gets this backwards. In real life, police strongly support civilians owning guns and carrying them for self-defense.
