There is something about right-wingers and the gun debate that just compels them to spread fake founding fathers quotes.

Jefferson was a blatant supporter of the rights of the people to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. To deny that is proof of simplicity.
Technically it's not about the movie but about the fact that your president wants to rob Americans of their Constitutional Rights. Let's get straight to the matter at hand.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen that. How did he “literally disarm everyone in the entire world”?

I did look. Couldn’t find it. Here’s my search history to prove you are wrong yet again.

Not my problem. Ask your grandkids. Or watch the movie. Or tell yourself that I'm making it up, I honestly don't care - it's an iconic ending, you really couldn't have missed it if you'd actually seen it!

And if he is arms the world, I guess that means none of the guns still work? And if he kills 500 years of technology with the single push of a button how is he able to (1) find a cigarette and (2) use a match to light it? If matches are still working, wouldn’t guns be working too? Take your time. Maybe rewatch the movie again.

Ok, great. You looked it up. He literally took everyone's weapons away, that was the ending. Please direct all further questions to John Carpenter, although I can't imagine he'd particularly want to find the time to answer you.
hahaha, and the president bore an uncanny resemblance to a certain someone who wouldn't get elected for another 20yrs! BWAHAHAHAHA! DOWN TO THE AWFUL THING ON HIS HEAD!
The first gif I ever made was of Plissken blowing out the match.... "Welcome to the human race," but silent. Was a cpl years before I found this site, can't find it.
Socrates made this when a bunch of us were talking about it back in the good ol' days:
Winston Smith was a Soviet Russian in the future with a taste for imported crappy tasting gin, and They Live was Carpenter's critique on Democrat Socialism which was trying its darndest to ruin the golden age that was Reagan and his piddle down wreconomics.

Is it a meme that deals in actual truth and history? Or is it a meme that deals with a movie it hasn't seen that made the exact opposite point the OP was making?
Whatever man. . . If you keep deflecting arguments, you lose the ability to find the truth. And if you can't find the truth, your life becomes meaningless.

OK, but if something is actually true, it probably doesn't need a reference to a movie you haven't seen and in fact argues the opposite to prove it. So talk to the OP. He's the one you want.
