Again, not surprised by this at all. Todd Phillips and co should have been smarter about the kind of movie they were making.
Imagine telling the families that suffered violence and death from an evil person that they're transparent for not wanting a movie that paints another evil person as a victim and a hero of their own story. Like, it's not just about them not liking it. It's an active measure to protect their community when nobody wants to do anything about gun control. They have to do something.
