I thought id share this. The professor in my current events class was talking about gun control in class today, and I was very surprised by what I heard; knowing the political stance of most professors.
He said, "The AR-15 is the "JAWS" of today. When the movie JAWS came out it created mass hysteria about being in the ocean; even though shark attacks are extremely rare. Hollywood was creating fear and panic in people that had no grounds of reality. It is the same thing with AR-15's today. The media and Hollywood are painting a evil picture of AR-15's; when in fact they are used in such a small percentage of gun related crimes. Just like how the movie JAWS created a evil and monstrous picture of sharks; the media is doing the same thing with AR's today." I was very surprised, and thought that was a good comparison that he did. |
