VICE Documentary on the Big Sandy
Collapse

As a production company owner, I have to give kudos to Vice Media. This was a really well done piece, good photography, editing and the interviews with the founders were excellent.
The host needed to be smacked for some of his left wing Brady Bunch inspired hyperbole (something about how all of these guns could be used to murder a lot of people? yeesh) but by the end of the shoot, he seemed like he actually "got it". He had a good time, met some good people and walked away with the big idea of what Big Sandy is really all about, freedom, not just machine guns. I loved how they portrayed the guys who own MGs as "professionals, doctors, lawyers" Very true, who else can afford $3k to $200k for an FA toy? But a good point to make to non-shooters that these aren't domestic terrorists, they are really dedicated hobbyists. Nice to see that there was a mini gun out there too, I think those sell for about $150k to $200k and imagine what ammo costs are for that! When they blew up Bob in the dinosaur, that was impressive too.
Thanks for sharing it, good clip.NRA Certified Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor, Shotgun Instructor and Range Safety Officer

Man I wanted to go to this, it was torture seeing what I missed. Must go the next one October 19-21 http://www.mgshooters.com/ Seems like a good group of safe shooters and the spectacle alone would be very fun.NRA Certified Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor, Shotgun Instructor and Range Safety Officer

Great video, I've always like Vice's videos and this is a good one. I like how they didn't focus on the political side of guns, instead they focused on how fun and awesome it is to shoot. And i like how they sent a gun newbie to do the report, and by the end he was having a blast.Comment

Oh ghost, no excuses. Go. It will change your outlook on life and you will go broke because you will have to buy at least one MG and then you will be broke.NRA Certified Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor, Shotgun Instructor and Range Safety Officer

Was that video made by the same guys that do the "Vice Guide" series? If you haven't seen the "Vice guide to Liberia" you're truly missing out... The Vice guide to the Pakistan gun markets was also eye opening, not to mention the "Vice guide to Chernobyl" which bordered on lunacy. Those guys have guts.Comment
