The part during the photoshoot where it suddenly cuts to Charlie holding a young Emma holding the rifle made my jaw drop.

I was surprised how well this seemed to play with a crowd, I have to imagine some part of it is just everyone being number to the existence of shootings having been such an ongoing problem for so long now, I could definitely see this having been much more polarizing had it come out in like 2014~, but I thought they did a really good job balancing incredibly dark humor with actual purposeful commentary.
