'''''A Clockwork Orange''''' is director [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s controversial 1971 film that stars [[Malcolm McDowell]] as the leader of a sadistic gang.  The film itself features very few firearms, and those that appear are rather incidental to the story.  For instance, all depictions of law enforcement in Britain (in the 1960s) rarely show them carrying firearms.  This also goes for the Prisons & Corrections Officers.
