Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
ajay1589 I stumbled across this movie playing on cable and was initially turned off. Hearing someone talk about "guns" and "gun violence" is such a depressing and heated topic that I instantly was tempted to change the channel and get back to something mindless. But then a parent of a child killed by gun violence came on the screen and the next thing I knew, I was 30 minutes in. I rewound to the beginning of the movie and started again to get the appropriate context and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.I've grown up with guns. I've seen the gun culture. I always felt it wasn't for me but I was never screaming mad about gun rights OR gun regulation. I just knew that all of these mass shootings had to be stopped somehow but that the NRA kept stopping gun regulations from being put into law. Now I understand a bit more about the history of our gun laws and the extent the NRA has gone to manipulate and strong-arm not only our politicians, but the very members of it's own organization. Of course, we all know that the NRA has a lot of political power, but no one really gets to see the ways in which they amassed this power and how they use it - and what they gain from it.This movie is in no way an attack on guns or gun owners. If anything, it opened my eyes to gun owners' perspectives and why they get so defensive about gun regulations. In it's entirety this film is a blistering expose on why our country does not have gun regulations and how absurd that is when real families are being devastated by this. It really is as simple as that.I think that it is important for the majority of us who know that something should be done but have no idea why it can't be done or how we can help to see films like this to open our eyes a bit into the situation at hand. And this film does more than that - it makes me want to act. It makes me ashamed that I was apathetic about this topic before because our country deserves better from it's citizens.
michelle-920-722440 After this month's horrific murder in Orlando, and after marching Sunday with Moms Demand Action at the SF Pride Parade, and after calling politicians during the government sit-in last week, I knew I had to learn more about the stranglehold the NRA has placed on our government… I just got off the couch from watching Katie Couric's newly released documentary (free on EPIX which Comcast doesn't offer… I streamed for $0.99 on Amazon). I took a huge number of notes on all the atrocities I learned, which I know I'll need as ammunition for future gun battles ahead. (PUBLIC DISCLAIMER; I don't believe in taking anyone's guns away. I think that it should be harder to shoot a gun than to drive a car… and believe in closing the terrorist watch list loophole.) I learned a ton with this less-than-2 hour documentary, and strongly recommend it to the members of Moms Demand Action/Everytown Against Gun Violence/the Brady Campaign and others interested in reducing gun violence – or learning why America is having such a hard time doing so. Yes I know there was one edit made unfairly for "the other side"... bottom line, this shares a lot of truths about why America can't change gun laws. If moms can lobby the automobile industry for safer cars and car seats - and win - then moms can do so with the NRA for gun safety and less gun violence. #Enough #DisarmHate
osis-52400 Katie Couric exposes her bias and "journalistic"integrity. Caught ass a liar and a fraud I hope she gets the same treatment as Brian Williams. This piece would have been perfect for disarming the citizenry Nazi Germany so they couldn't oppose the regime. Take your contemplative pause and shove it you fraud. Yahoo which is on the same level as Facebook as far as I'm concerned should fire you. You've earned your name dragged through the mud with your self serving drivel that you tried to pass on as journalism. Time will tell as this video of non sense fades into obscurity and will hopefully only be known for sinking Courics career.
blacksacrednight At 21:48 Couric is made to appear as if she has stumped the Virginia Citizens Defense League by asking the question, "If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?" Subsequent to this question, the camera pans from VCDF member to member and all appear to be mesmerized by this question. Problem is, the editor of the film removed their verbose answers to this question, and inserted film of them patiently waiting to be asked a question.If this is an example of what Couric considers journalistic integrity, then she will always be remembered as a hack propagandist rather than a serious investigative reporter.
