Just got an email from Guns America. I have not seen the movie nor do I intend to. I'm quoting the email in it's entirety:
Hi Everyone.
I would just like to warn gun owners and especially hunters to NOT BUY a movie on the rack at Wal-Mart this week called "The Iron Giant" for your kids. It looks like a great movie and overall it actually is, but it demonizes deer hunters and guns in general. It is THE WORST I have seen to date. The focus on the gun and say "guns kill" over and over again. The whole point of the movie is that the robot doesn't want to be a gun.
If you don't want to be surprized by a movie you innocently bought for your kids, avoid it, really. They could have introduced the concept of death to the big robot any number of ways, but the Hollywood elitists chose to use deer hunters.
These hypocrite trained monkeys probably went to lunch at Arbys everyday to eat a cow that someone else killed for them, WITHOUT A GUN.
Blech blech blech why can't these idiots understand that America has real problems, and none of them have to do with hunters or guns.

I've read that e-mail on other forums. I agree with you, I'll not be viewing that movie. It is anti-hunting propaganda clevely disguised as an "art-form."

In actuality, the robot had primitive speech; .'gun'. meant .'weapon'. and this was an attempt to make the robot sound child like. I detect no political meaning from this, therefore .'Iron Giant'. is allowed viewing in my home.
Far more sinister, are the cartoons like .'Superfriends'; in which .'guns are never the answer'. and even if a gun is present, at least a hundred reasons it cannot be used. Even some westerns are anti gun, like the horrible .'High Noon'.
We can disagree, and still be friends! Great board, guys!
