* ArtisticLicenseLaw: The movie was criticized for getting a number of important and highly polarizing issues about gun law in the United States wrong.
** Sloane claims in one scene that anybody can buy an assault rifle in cash without identification. Assault ''rifles'' are a legally-defined term and are in fact a mutually exclusive category with assault ''weapons'', which are common civilian weapons in the United States.
** Sloane makes a reference to gun shows being a place for "any headcase, felon, or terrorist" to buy guns without identification, but gun shows follow the same laws for transfer as any other location; licensed gun dealers must perform a background check even at gun shows.
** Sloane refers to guns being for sale anonymously on the Internet; guns bought online legally must be shipped to a licensed firearms dealer, and a background check is done by the dealer as part of the legal transaction. Of course, the black market is in existence on the Internet, rendering anonymized purchases of weaponry online a possibility both in film and in real life (though the point is they're not legal as she claims).

As a result, she's become a gun control supporter who works at the Brady Campaign, but doesn't reveal this since people say her advocacy has been emotionally motivated. Sloane later reveals this publicly without asking, driving Esme to tears and outraging her, though she goes with it anyway afterward becoming the face of their support for a bill that would mandate guns have universal background checks.
