    SNL is a bunch of greedy commies. Haven't watched the show for more than 5 minutes in years. (every few years I check to see how bad it is and am never disappointed)

    But that being said this clip is very funny!

    Legal or not, those all seem to have some intended purpose except the last category.

    When it fits a narrative or control the media and progressives want spun in their favor, its “gun violence”, a public health crisis, an epidemic, or some other spin.

    So I’m not sure what asking if a movie they don’t like is causing them to do backflips to negatively link it “gun violence” does credibility wise.
    “Gun violence” as a descriptive label is flat out intellectually dishonest.

    For the sake of focusing only on unlawful behavior what’s really being discussed is interpersonal violence as the causal component which just happen to utilize firearms as the means. They’re separate and distinct components.

    Add in the statistics for vehicular deaths and gun violence takes a deep back seat.

    Well it's 43 years old, so there's that.

    I was refering to the left always making it out like gun related deaths are at the top of causes of death. There are several other ways to die that are more likely to get you than someone with a gun.

    Did you mean to say "vehicle violence"?
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
