Attention, please.

I hereby declare Jihad on the following:
In a movie wherein one or more police officers interact with small children, one child asks one or more of the cops, “Can I see your gun?”
Three decades of movies desperately milking this lazy, shitty gag is more than enough, Hollywood. (And those are just the ones I’ve been alive during.) It’s time to hire somebody to do some goddamn thinking for you. I don’t care who it is. Pay some fucking bum ten bucks for an idea or something.

I have NEVER seen a movie with this line in it. May I respectfully suggest that it could be that you just watch a lot of really, really bad movies? Perhaps it is time to start being a little discriminating in your cinematic viewing? Not that I’m judging, you understand, but watching stupid cop films and expecting a good script is akin to expecting porn to have some kind of sensible storyline.

Oh they’re shitty movies all right. Nobody’s debating that. I’m simply suggesting they make up a new line that wasn’t funny to begin with to beat to death for the next three decades. A retarded paradigm shift, if you will.

It freaks me out that cops carry guns over here. You’ll just be sitting in Starbucks and a cop comes in and stands next to you all of a sudden, THERE’S A GUN AT EYE LEVEL. In England, they just carry truncheons. Which is why, I suppose, you never hear “Can I see your truncheon?” in a British movie. It just sounds too dirty.

Dude, I would trade nearly anything to hear that line in every other movie. And if cops having guns is freaky, I advise you not to think too hard about private security guards — also known as “Guys Who Couldn’t Pass the Police Background Check” — having guns.

I’ve been asked in MY line of work before to show someone my gun…but i suppose that’s no REALLY what we’re talking about here is it.

Oh, I SO agree with you on the movie lines!
Here we have ‘campus police’ who are the local campus rejects without guns. They’ve been trying to get them for years. Finally got stun-guns. That’s just scary. Really.

i just thought american kids were more foolhardy than canadian kids. as kids we used to shiver in authority before cops or mounties, both who have guns.
it is a dumb dumb line. i also vote for a retarded paradigm shift. just in case someone is keeping track.
