>>>>> Jon Bernthal, the actor who plays the nominal anti-hero in Netflix’s
>>>>> The Punisher, was asked in a recent interview his thoughts regarding
>>>>> Frank Castle’s inherent place within gun control debates, and the
>>>>> occasionally contentious appearance of his character’s emblem.
>>>>>
>>>>> “Should there be a way that a guy with mental issues like the asshole
