Misguided gun mythology is being foisted on the public and it is doing harm. Whether this is simply ignorant, deliberate, a plot, prejudice, acting out on stereotypes, a power grab — it doesn\u2019t matter. What matters is it must stop. Pro-rights and anti-rights advocates just want to point fingers at each other. Children are dangerously misled. Lives are being lost needlessly. But wait — there\u2019s hope — stupidity can be repaired.<\/p>\n

People running Hollywood and TV are primary but not sole culprits. They\u2019ll be first to cry First Amendment and insist, \u201cWe can do whatever we want!\u201d and I\u2019ll be first to agree. They are completely free to be idiots, and mislead and endanger the entire nation. They get to skate, scot-free, that\u2019s our way. It\u2019s just time to make it clear that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

The wild proliferation of guns and gun misuse portrayed on screens nationally gets acted out in public with dangerous mishandling, accidents and abysmally misinformed legislation. Violence proliferates in previously unimaginable ways, no longer confined to now commonplace theater and nighttime fiction. We even have gangsters who try to shoot sidearms sideways causing jams and adversely affecting aim (maybe that\u2019s a good thing).<\/p>\n

People who understand firearms — about 100 million of us — would find all that programming (right word) so much more credible and enjoyable if the gun parts were even slightly more realistic. The producers obviously don\u2019t know better, if their products are any gauge. Think they\u2019ll ever show a reloading bench? A what?<\/p>\n

Korwin: Gun Training Good. Forced Training Bad.<\/a><\/h2>\n
\"Korwin:<\/a>

Killer Elite. Right? Wrong! (Photo: IMDB<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

It gives us shivers to watch cops constantly point their guns at suspects, witnesses, reporters, bystanders — each other — fingers on the triggers, with no apparent awareness of their surroundings, backstops — just the worst gun-handling techniques imaginable. It makes you wonder if the writers and directors ever actually handled a firearm. We know the answer, most haven\u2019t. It\u2019s evident. Ask a reporter, \u201cDo you go to the range?\u201d I do. It\u2019s rhetorical. They don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

When a lieutenant holds a gun like a little girl (right word again), or cup-and-saucer style, or puts a thumb behind the slide of a pistol where the skin will be torn right off after the first shot, what a joke. No one makes that mistake twice. These folks are clueless.<\/p>\n

OK, we get it, dramatic tension requires some liberties (poor word choice), even if it does increase stupidity. Bullets don\u2019t spark, Stallone and every other super-rich macho manly Hollywood hypocrite hero can\u2019t really outrun bullets, or hit everything with one shot… in real life, newcomers at a range are as rudely awakened as novices in court expecting Judge Judy.<\/p>\n

Phony or fake, pick your word. Racking the slide in every scene — which makes a cool sight and sound — is as lame as a cooking show frying eggs with shells still on. It just empties your gun, making it worthless. Jump into a doorway so you\u2019re silhouetted, framed for your enemy to see you clearly and fire? Who writes these things, Bizzaro? There’s a point here. The so-called \u201cnews\u201d is no better, but it’s more dangerous.<\/p>\n

Korwin: Disarm Annoying People \u2013 Enacted!<\/a><\/h2>\n

Reporters ask why a person needs this gun or that. After all these years they really don\u2019t know? They didn\u2019t go to school? They question amounts of ammo when a simple box of plinkers has 500, several friends at the range can burn a thousand by lunch. The shooting sports are the number two participant sport in the nation (ahead of golf), what sort of perspective can a person with such ignorant questions bring to the subject? To hear breathless talking heads — my colleagues — display such bias and ignorance is humiliating. They are so lucky they can\u2019t have their licenses revoked.<\/p>\n

Even with TV, video and Hollywood\u2019s passion for promoting senseless mass slaughter day in and day out (shoot cops for points!), screaming it has no effect while the bodies mount around us as never before, we could teach. We have such a wonderful (but lost) opportunity to tell these same dangerously vile shoot-\u2019em-ups and simultaneously inculcate the public in reasonable gun-handling techniques.<\/p>\n

From statist cops-and-robbers stories, to portrayals of truly evil villains as a movie’s star — an immoral but recurrent Hollyvomit theme these days — these can provide a platform for, say, indexing your trigger finger on the frame, not resting it on the trigger. This does help limit accidents waiting to happen. Characters actually do the index-finger-thing sometimes, you\u2019ve seen that. Does it hurt the show? Nah. But wait… there’s more!<\/p>\n

Korwin: Obama Anti-Gun Lawlessness Reversed<\/a><\/h2>\n

When actors start practicing good muzzle control, and do that amazing ballet instead of the point-at-your-friends waltz they do now, people will pick up on this. Producers who do this will win audiences and accolade, overtly and subliminally, and create far more realistic, credible products. I can barely watch Spock and Kirk run insanely around with Phasers, look closely next time, sheesh.<\/p>\n

Anti-gun-rights groups have dropped the worn out now unpopular \u201ccontrol\u201d moniker, replacing it with \u201csafety,\u201d but no one is fooled. They don\u2019t really know or do anything about firearms that would directly qualify as gun safety. That\u2019s what their (gulp!) arch enemy NRA trainers do. Teach gun safety. Michael Bloomberg\u2019s dark-money funded \u201csafety\u201d groups typically can\u2019t even tell you what the gun-safety rules are.<\/p>\n

Teach gun safety, abandon gun stupidity. PBS public media could do it. Nah, there\u2019s little hope it will happen there, the stupidity is ingrained and tenacious.<\/p>\n

Based on evidence, the political left likes gun stupidity, they promote it. But we know that, and we\u2019re watching. It makes them look so, well, stupid. That can\u2019t possibly be what they want, can it? Or does gun stupidity promote the left\u2019s (read: Marxist\/socialist) ultimate goal of gun confiscation…<\/p>\n

They object loudly to voicing that goal of theirs out loud. So let\u2019s ask the question. What guns does the left believe the public should be \u201callowed\u201d to own? Or is that a stupid question? There are no stupid questions.<\/p>\n

P.S. Use language with precision:<\/h2>\n

“Gunman” is sexist and gunophobic. It demeans and slurs both men and firearms needlessly. Use of this highly biased term compromises journalistic integrity and contributes to the distrust the public has for news media.<\/p>\n

“Shooter” disguises the nature of evil and is a direct assault on decent people who exercise their fundamental civil rights. Millions of decent people at shooting ranges daily can be legitimately described by this term; lumping them in with a mass killer may be more inaccurate and prejudicial than referring to terrorists as Muslims.<\/p>\n

“Mass murderer” is accurate, even before conviction when names are not specified, along with psychopath, killer, mass killer, spree killer, psychotic, villain, perpetrator and similar.<\/p>\n

Recognize that sensationalizing images of mass murderers with special effects such as halos, colorizing, doubling or tripling, similar photo manipulation, zooming and panning, and ominous music or sound effects is inappropriate and decreases newsworthiness. Leaving images up during discussions is seen as perverse by audiences.<\/p>\n

Running images of perpetrators long after events is yesterday\u2019s news; featuring images of long-dead villains is perverse, causes harm, and serves little purpose other than to glorify evil and encourage copycats. The public knows this.<\/p>\n

Audiences are repulsed by raising perpetrators to iconic status. It is often called \u201csick\u201d behavior on the part of journalists and contributes to decreased respect and credibility for journalists among significant segments of the public.<\/p>\n

“News” media turns death event into Guinness record hunt<\/p>\n

The media is imitating its Hollywood cousins, excited about new records for killings! Looks, it’s a new record! Who will beat the new record?! Listen to them, they are excited! Hollywood leads the way — sets the all-time bloodthirsty killing sprees! Don’t worry folks — this has no effect on anything. They are positive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
