No. to vigilante justice - it's an oxymoron. Go rent "Ox-Bow Incident" to see how certainty plays out in such cases. Also "12 Angry Men" as to the "justice" system.
Meanwhile, I took this as a reverse-psychology ANTI-gun propaganda film.
Note the ease with which untrained, unvetted, unchecked Paul gets his guns. We'll ignore, of course the crooks who are all well armed. This is Chicago, where Mayor Emanuel is well protected, so sleep easy.
Further, Paul seems to get the guns with no waiting period and even has a full-auto M14 type rifle. I'm so sure those are available in Chi town. I'm not even sure the last gun store in the city is still there. Last I heard the Mayor's henchmen were still trying to shut it down. Can't have those regula' folk protectin' themselves!
I believe the real Bruce Willis is vocally anti-gun, too... except in his movies and protecting him, of course!

Are you sure of this? I understand that he is very pro-gun.
