I searched, but I didn't see anything about this. Perhaps this is "welcome to last year," but I was poking around search engines and found this documentary about the 2A movement, which was released Nov. 25, 2009.

 

Here's a trailer:

Anyone heard anything about this movie (good, bad, ?)

 

I'm thinking about purchasing it and watching it, but would like some reviews, first, if anyone's seen it. Otherwise, I may get it Friday, watch it and let y'all know.

 

 

So, I bit the bullet and bought the documentary and watched it. It confirmed the apprehensions I had about buying it; it doesn't bring anything new to the table. If you're familiar with our cause and interests (i.e. 2A rights and the 2A movement), then you won't learn anything from this movie. If you don't know the basics (and I mean the bare basics) of the 2A movement, then you stand to learn something from this movie.

 

Unfortunately, it didn't even really have a cohesive or interesting story, plot or angle. It claims to be about "driving across America" to find out about 2A rights and activists, but there was nothing about driving across the US or meeting interesting people, or seeing small town America. It had one small anecdote about how brandishing a weapon prevented a possible further crime (back in the late 70's) and one story about how the BATF messed up somebody's life. It was bascially snippets of interviews with about 5 pro-gunners while they sat and addressed long-standing 2A issues.

 

I understand the importance of continuing the discussion, but this documentary lacks opposing views, new issues, interesting story(ies) and even the basic history of gun rights/loss of rights.

 

Overall, I found myself fidgeting about 15 minutes into this 1-hour, 40-minute slog through old topics and talking heads and I struggled to pay attention through the end. So, this documentary has earned a rating from me of:

 

 

 

P.S.

 

If anyone wants to buy my copy of this movie from me, I'm willing to sell it to you for $8, about 1/2 the price I paid (I will delete this off my hardrive by 6/7/2010 if nobody buys it by then). It's electronic copy only, is 583 MB and is in mp4 format (warning: Windows Media Player doesn't support mp4, I had to download RealPlayer).
