Yosemite Sam is an iconic character in the looney tunes franchise. He is one of bugs bunnies rivals and uses his guns in the shows and movies he is apart of. In the new Space Jam movie with LeBron James, Donald duck asked Yosemite Sam to shoot the ball thinking that he would take a regular shot, but instead pulls out his guns and shoots the ball instead. This is a funny gag that has no harm except to the ball. The main producers of looney tunes are taking away the guns, "but we can do cartoony violence -- TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in."
