Another year and another movie bashing gun rights. It would be more entertaining if the production company set up a webcam, stacked all the money this movie is going to cost and light it on fire a la Joker. Making this type of movie is the same as burning money. Jessica Chastain made a gun control movie released in late 2016 and it earned a whopping $9.1 MM off a $13 MM production and probably another $20 MM marketing.

"gun legislation continues to be a galvanizing national issue."

BS and they can FOAD.

What's galvanizing are the freaks in our society who are mostly liberal, Islamic or batsh*t crazy. "Guns" and dead bodies are the props to undermine our society and ruin the Republic. The search is NEVER to solve problems and find solutions. The crisis is a liberals wet dream.

Wrote my novel in the mid 1990s. Has been available as an ebook from Authorhouse and Amazon.

Rights of Stone by Taube

An assignment to monitor pro-gun radio talk show hosts and screen pro-gun publications leads an FBI team to a much broader plot involving an assassination attempt against an anti-gun U.S. Congressman. In the course of their investigation, the agents discover there is an attempt by senior officials in the government to force a repeal of the Second Amendment - The right to bear arms.

Anyone remember Carl Bakal’s book THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, in paperback the name was changed t NO Right to Keep and Bear Arms. an anti-gun screed from around 1969.
