I have two extra tickets for tonight's Burbank showing if anyone needs some.

The Crest Theater in Sac is filling up. We even got free movie posters! Come on!

Here's a link to the Tugg Site. Many showings started about half an hour ago, but not all of them.

Good movie

When do we get the DVD?

Awesome movie! The Bakersfield showing turned out enough people and interest that there might be a second showing. Some time down the road.

Just got back from the movie and it was EXCELLENT. Powerful, and yet not overpowering.

Congratulations are in order to those that created this! Bravo!

There was a technical issue at our theater (San Jose) that caused an audio echo, but it didn't detract from the experience.

I was also quite surprised to see myself chatting with Wash in the blurry background behind Tboyer.

It was also quite interesting to see many familiar faces in the big screen. (Hi all!)

I really liked the focus on the racial roots, then progression to the oppression of the poor inner city folks. Many gun related things skip those completely and show only the rich white folks and the criminals and nobody in between.

Overall it was quite well done, and a good counterpoint to the deluge of anti-gun media...

This event was also a good counterpoint to the depressing daily task of fighting bad legislation.

Again, bravo to all involved!

Small but enthusiastic turn out in Burbank.
Really good movie.
I wish more of my friends could have attended.
Well done and congratulations to all involved.

Shooter and gun owner for many years (independent/libertarian) and contributed twice to the Kickstarter Event. I applaud all the effort that went into the film but for me I think it missed the mark.

One of the long term gun owners (libertarian) that went with us thought the movie was generally well done and he thought that the inclusion of all the racial context would convince some liberals to reconsider their position on gun control.

The two moderate gun owners (one moderate democrat and one independent) and one serious gun owner (conservative republican) that went with our group thought it was an interesting documentary film and enjoyed the history but didn't think it would change the mind of most people who are sitting on the fence.

The one "non-gun" person (democrat) in our group has always expressed an interest in learning more about shooting as well as gun-control issues. He is the standard non-gun person with a lot of incorrect information. He thought the movie was good and had useful information but it didn't sway him one way or the other to any large degree.

Hope this is helpful and all comments are intended to be constructive, not disparaging.

I was glad to see that the movie addressed the racial tension around gun ownership as well as the importance of ownership of a firearm for self preservation against any aggressor.

A friend that went with us really thought the 911 call recording further highlighted the need of a firearm for self protection. He pointed out that if the robber could withstand up to 3 shots from a firearm then what could the would be victim be able to do with a lesser weapon.

That Sheriff/GI story was pretty intense. Glad to see the GIs won. (White flag)

Just got back from watching it in Orange. About 15 people in the theater.

Good movie. Didn't tell me anything much I didn't already know, but that's not a suprise for most of us because we haven't been brainwashed by the MSM or who have otherwise buried their head in the sand not even wanting to know the facts.

The trick would be to get those who are on the fence about 2A or gun control in to see it.

Worthwhile movie. Especially if you can get a "fence sitter" to go with you.

Gave two tickets to a non gun owner. He and his girlfriend really enjoyed it. He stated that everyone should see it. The movie in combination with the FPC firearm giveaway flyers worked well in getting him involved in the fight. He started sending opposition letters the next day. Was upset on how ridiculous the bills are.
