MAKING A KILLING: Guns, greed and the NRA

[SecularMotion]

(CULVER CITY, CA.) -- There seems to be little doubt that after numerous mass murders with guns the past few years that a movement is building steam in America for what some call "common sense" gun laws, not more "gun control," that at least would attempt to better protect people from the annual carnage wrought by firearms in the U.S.

Things such as background checks for all gun sales and transfers, not just gun sales at licensed retain gun stores. Even some gun owners are saying enough is enough, that something different needs to be done to stop the annual and predictable slaughter with firearms every year.

Some of the strongest voices for gun law changes are coming from women. Last year the Center for American Progress (CAP) pointed out that while 34 percent of men victimized by violent crime between 2003 and 2012 were targeted by people they knew, 65 percent of women victimized by violent crimes during the same period knew their attackers, and guns were often a huge part of those attacks.

According to a report on Elle.com, "CAP also noted that "a staggering portion of violence against women is fatal"—and driven by access to guns. Between 2001 and 2012, "6,410 women were murdered in the United States by an intimate partner using a gun—more than the total number of U.S. troops killed in action during the entirely of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined."

1. "And on another front a new film hopes to make an impact...

...in the national gun law debate this year. The movie Making a Killing: Guns, Greed, and the NRA tells the stories, says the producer, of how guns - and billions of dollars made off them -- affect the lives of everyday Americans."

Spam?
Are you a producer or publicist?

2. Have you seen any of Robert Greenwald's films?

He's fairly well-known among liberals and progressives.

3. Since they are numerous...

...I probably have. Thanks for the tip.

I tend to watch the shoot'em up cowboy and action films more often, though.

4. Wasn't this in GD, too?

5. Yeah, he just doesn't want to wake anyone in his own group up this early in the week.

That's why he posts everything here and in GD, when he thinks he can get away with it.

Shhhh, the gun control people are resting after a hard weekend working their keyboards.

7. why to be true

the group he hosts is not his favorite group and traffic is so slow, there is nothing to moderate.

6. Why yes it is

the host that posted it does not seem to abide by the GD SOP and and disrespects our fine administrator Skinner by posting against his posted guidelines. He has had many threads locked for SOP violation over there. Sad since he is a host that so scrupulously enforces his SOP beyond any recognition.
