Many gun owners and NRA members were displeased with the overt anti-gun messaging in this movie, and actively boycotted it. Clear examples of this are the protagonist calling the active shooter an "NRA spokesman" within the first few minutes of the film, as well as the two prominent Anti-NRA and pro "assault weapons" ban posters in the police department's lobby. Richard Donner, the director, made clear in a Variety interview that the messaging was intentional, claiming "I do it in almost every picture of mine". Many accounts also claim that Danny Glover was complicit in requesting the message be pushed.
