Biggest indication this movie is NOT about gun control ...

if the writers had used a different issue than gun control ... tobacco, abortion to name a few ... the rest of the story would have been exactly the same. The story is about the back-room machinations that happen every day in politics, in every country in the world, not just the US. We have the same problem up here in Canada. It's shining a light of how laws really get voted in (or not) in government. For those people who still think it's a gun issue movie, I'm calling BS and saying you probably didn't see the movie (and if you haven't seen it but are commenting one way or another, there goes your credibility!).

Jaws isn't about a shark.

It's about small town business competition in the age of over reaching government regulation

Jessica Chastain thinks it's about gun control. The trailer makes it look pro-gun control.

sbdjones you are 100% correct, and this was an excellent film, but trying to put forth a cognizant argument to most posters on this board is like trying to kick water uphill - you're just wasting your time.

it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again

Also, a movie that actually was pro-gun control probably wouldn't have the main lobbyist be a sociopath like Sloane.
