We are missing the mark (pun not intended) on the gun violence debate. As the nation reels from the horrific school shootings, Hollywood jumps to support the March for Our Lives campaign, pledging millions of dollars in support.
I applaud these individuals, but question their motivations. If Hollywood truly cares about reducing gun violence, pledge not only your money, but vow to stop making films that glorify and reward gun violence.
We flocked to see “Black Panther” — yet another superhero movie in a very long line of movies containing high levels of violence (including 163 shootings).
