the two anti-gun scenes

well, i suppose if you are anti-gun, a virus will have to do on the occasion that you are invaded by martians. that's peaceful and loving and non-violent.

man, these doofuses blow.

"metaphor for U.S. military"

Treason is not difficult to define. Treason is when your country is at war and you want the other side to win. If America is like evil invading Martians, then we are evil and should be destroyed.

I am so glad that I didn't go see this film and never will now. We have got to stop feeding the beast even if we can't stop it.

Actually, there are two explicit anti-gun scenes, plus the overall anti-gun (and anti-military) theme where the military weapons are useless against the aliens (presumably Martians), but simple bacterial or viruses do the job. Note that this occurs through "Mother Nature", rather than biological warfare. What a missed opportunity to improve a bad movie!

One explicit anti-gun scene involves the shotgun-wielding survivalist. The other is the scene involving handguns where the car that Tom Cruise stole is stolen from him.
