Firearms Documentaries

July 7, 2013

You don't have to be a particular fan of rapper Ice-T to appreciate that he's recently narrated a documentary about gun rights entitled, "Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire."

"gun rights are civil rights. 

In other words, they are rights inherent to American citizens. Or as the HHS.gov websiteputs it: "Civil rights are personal rights guaranteed and protected by the U.S. Constitution."

Therefore, just as rights to speak freely, to vote, and to practice one's religion are civil rights, so too are the rights embodied in the 2nd Amendment. This is the central point of the documentary, Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire.

The documentary accomplishes this by showing that the right to keep and bear arms was hedged in by our Founding Fathers as a right that existed long before American government did. As such, it is a right the government can neither give nor take away--a right that "shall not be infringed." It is sacrosanct, like other civil rights."

And here's an earlier article about it: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/06/04/is-owning-a-gun-an-important-civil-right-eye-opening-new-movie-aims-to-change-americans-views-on-firearms-and-liberty/

And now there's another documentary called "A GIRL AND A GUN" that "candidly explores the modern American woman through intimate portraits of several women that revolve around fundamental issues of preservation, power, feminism and violence. Punctuated with archival footage and expert commentary to provide a rich historical and cultural context, the film presents a complex and empowering perspective on a deadly serious issue."

Neither will be widely distributed so anyone wanting to see them will have to put forth some effort. I hope to see both and I hope you will too.

Here's a third 2nd Amendment documentary being undertaken in 2013. "Infringed: Second Amendment in the Crosshairs" is another I look forward to watching.
