Hollywood, Gun
Control Groups Pushing Gun Laws via Television, Movies
by AWR Hawkins 25 Nov 2016
Just more than two weeks after the election of
pro-Second Amendment Donald Trump, Hollywood and gun
control groups are full steam ahead on plans to use television and movies
to change Americans’ minds on gun control.
The push is marked by the November 25 release of Miss
Sloane, a film about a “female lobbyist who gives herself the Herculean
challenge of taking on the gun lobby.”
According to the
Daily Beast, Miss Sloane comes as gun controllers continue to
wait for director Harvey Weinstein to make good on his promise to
create a film that will make the NRA “wish they weren’t alive.” Weinstein’s
film, The Senator’s Wife, will star Meryl Streep.
In January 2014, Weinstein told Piers Morgan, “I have to
just choose movies that aren’t violent or as violent as they used to be. And I
know for me, personally, I can’t continue to do that. The change starts here.
It has already.” One year later, he produced one of the most violent films of
recent memory, Quentin Tarantino’s
The Hateful Eight. The
film was rife with gun violence.
Yet Everytown for Gun Safety, the Brady Campaign
to Reduce Gun Violence, and other groups have attached their cart to
Weinstein’s promises to deliver on a gun control film, and they are hopeful
that Miss Sloane will have some impact, as well.
John Madden, director of Miss Sloane, said, “As we
refer to in the film, the fallacy that any form of gun regulation is a slippery
slope to confiscation is an idea that seems to have extraordinary persuasive
power.” Nonetheless, Madden believes changing minds on gun control will be
an uphill battle. He stated, “If there hasn’t been any ability to shift the
needle in any way in the last eight years, I can’t see it changing in the near
future.”
In addition to Miss Sloane and The
Senator’s Wife, gun control groups point to NetFlix’s House of Cards and CBS’ The Good Wife. Everytown worked
with House of Cards to push gun control during season four of the
series, and “the Brady Campaign consulted on an episode of The Good
Wife” for a gun control campaign, as well.
