I think that quite a few posters may have misinterpreted the significance of the guns in relation to the plot.

I don't think they were a commentary on "Americans loving and owning lots of guns" so much as they were a device - a tangible representation of the anatagonist's influence on the main characters world.

The message wasn't about owning guns... it was about the flaws of a rival, corporate driven society and its antagonistic, predatory nature.

Detatched from its propaganda roots this is an amazing film that gives some well-deserved criticism of unfettered capitalism.

So you're saying every single human and country, Communist and non-Communist, in the world is a money-grubbing, gun-toting lunatic?

I'm not like that, in fact, I dislike making money for the sake of greed.
