Looney Tunes characters, including Elmer Fudd, have been banned from holding guns.

According to Peter Browngardt, who is executive producer of a new series of shorts recently released on HBO Max, the animated franchise will no longer be “doing guns”.

In Looney Tunes shows of old, the hapless Fudd was a big-game hunter usually armed with a shotgun.

However, in response to gun violence in the US, animators working on the new series have ensured that Fudd be more “creative” in his attempts to catch Bugs Bunny.

As a result, he will use a scythe instead of a firearm.

HBO. Where fricking your sister, graphic nudity, adult language and extreme gore violence are totally kosher (Game of Thrones).

But cartoon shotguns are not.

Clown. World.

Such a sensitive time we live in. I mean it’s legal to hunt rabbits with a gun.

First they came for Drew Brees and I did not speak out- because I was not a Saints player.

Then, they came for Elmer Fudd and I did not speak out- because I never hunted rabbits.

Maybe he can scream Allah Akbar as he chases Buggs with a big arse knife?

That should modernize him.

A big game hunter armed with a shotgun? Hunting wabbits?

But a scythe seems much more innocuous than an evil firearm. frick this gay earth. I'm glad I'm old and will be dying soon.

And how many of our upstanding inner city youths that have the problem with using guns are really watching cartoons like this?

Accurate shot to the heart will leave a large game animal nearly unaware of what happened. It will wander a bit aimlessly, grow weak, and eventually fall over due to quick blood loss from the punctured heart. There is - considering it is being hunted and killed by a predator - very little suffering on the part of the animal.

A frickING SCYTHE?!?!?!?!

You have to hack the thing to death. Slice it's neck open IF YOU CATCH IT. Which means you're setting traps. And when it's trapped, it's going to be terrified. Thrashing about. Struggling. Willing to attack the hunter as he approaches.

I imagine the hunter will take his time waiting on the now-crazy-with-fear animal tiring itself out. Or maybe the hunter has a way of trapping the animal completely: grabbing its legs and wrapping them; sealing its jaw shut; tying down any antlers that may be swung.

Either way, this is a rather disgusting scene that will end with the hunter inflicting a tremendous amount of pain as the scythe slices through thick hide and fat.

I hope they depict the reality of this with their new fricking LOONEY tune.

Well, Yosemite Sam must not even exist anymore, the guns were kinda essential to his character. I guess he is going the way of Slowpoke Rodriguez.
