	The American Gun by J.J. Maloney
		Gun murders in Richmond, Va., reportedly fell by 41 percent after federal prosecutors there initiated an effort to put any felon caught carrying a gun in prison for five years, enlisted the aid of local police in referring cases to the federal court, and waged a publicity campaign to inform the public of the program.
		The avowed purpose of gun laws – in the context of the current debate – is to keep guns out of the hands of persons who have demonstrated, at any time in their lives, a failure of character.
		Gun magazines routinely print articles on self-defense, pointing out that small.25-caliber guns, for example, are apt to make a robber really mad if you shoot him with such an ineffective bullet.

	The Failure of Canadian Gun Control
		Canada's first gun law, in 1892, simply required a gun license for those who wished to carry a handgun but did not have "reasonable cause to fear an assault." Now, ordinary citizens are prohibited from carrying loaded handguns; and the government deems self-protection to be an insufficient reason for even owning a weapon.
		American Blacks and Hispanics have a much higher death rate from shootings, in part because they are likely to live in poorer, more dangerous neighborhoods, and to receive less protection from the authorities.
		Their gun laws are merely one aspect of the Canadian system of relying on the government to take care of everyone's welfare -- in contrast to the American system, where many citizens distrust government power, and insist that they possess the means to protect themselves.

	Japan: Gun Control and People Control
		Americans, used to their own traditions of freedom, would not accept Japan's system of people controls and gun controls.
		One American found this out when he was arrested in Okinawa for possessing marijuana: he was interrogated for days without an attorney, and signed a confession written in Japanese that he could not read.
		American gun controllers argue that in America, more males die from suicide attempts because males are more likely to choose a gun as a suicide weapon.

	Gun politics in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gun rights supporters argue that the phrase "the people" applies to all individuals rather than an organized collective, and point out that the word "people" means the same individuals in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th, and 10th Amendments.
		Originally formed in 1871, after the American Civil War, to promote marksmanship skills among the general population, the NRA was mainly a shooting-sports association that rose to prominence from its nationwide promotion of firearms safety, training courses and certifications it offered local shooting clubs and their members.
		Opponents of gun control claim that since many criminals are able to obtain both legal and illegal weapons without a license, laws that entirely ban any type of gun may halt the use of guns only as a means of self-defense while criminals continue to ignore the laws and abuse the guns.

		Avelino's "American Gun," opening Friday at the Harris Theater, is either a loose collection of character-driven story arcs or a vague social statement in search of a story.
		The premise is valid: a fictional examination of the role of guns in the lives of Americans.

	DVD Talk Review: American Gun
		Well, the subject of today's review is American Gun; a movie that sidesteps the discussion of firearms and takes a look at the consequences of guns in our society instead, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions without the usual heavy-handed advocacy of gun control that usually comes from higher budget Hollywood films.
		Movie: American Gun is the debut directorial effort of Aric Avelino that takes a relatively obscure method of showing three short films on the subject and edits them together to provide a diverse look at the impact of handguns in our society today.
		Final Thoughts: American Gun may not be a classic film on the joys of gun ownership or the horrors of same but it was enough to lend pause for someone to consider the ramifications of the topic in general terms.

	Rifle Shooter: The All-American Lever Gun
		Gun history is a northern lake at winter's end, appearing as a pathway of solid ice when in fact every slippery step may plunge the unwary traveler into frigid waters.
		Furthermore, Paco Kelly, in An American Heritage--Leverguns, tells us that "There was a fl-powder single-shot rifle brought out in the 1830s that had an underlever that opened the piece." It was a Yankee invention.
		It is a quintessentially American design, recalling the days of the Old West and generations of hunters.

	American Gun (2006): Reviews
		American Gun is a powerful series of interwoven storylines that bring to light how the proliferation of guns in America dramatically affects and shapes the every day lives of its citizens.
		The last act of American Gun is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous and forced dramatic twists I've seen in years.
		This is "Crash" with gun violence substituted for racism, although the tone of director–co-writer Aric Avelino's debut feature may be closer to one of those pious public-safety films that used to be shown to schoolchildren in order to frighten them out of potential bad behavior.

		In 91.7% of these incidents the defensive use of a gun did not wound or kill the criminal attacker (and the gun defense wouldn't be called "newsworthy" by newspaper or TV news editors).
		Both sets of data indicate that gun control legislation may have led to decreased use of guns by suicidal men, but the difference was apparently offset by an increase in suicide by leaping.
		The criminological data on defensive gun uses are to be found at The World Wide Web Gun Defense Clock, along with the sources for the data.

		We are shown how guns have always been a staple of Tillman's life, from the early scenes where he is fascinated by his grandfather's old fun to later ones featuring a young Martin at war, played very effectively by Ryan Locke, where he is forced to witness first hand the impact a gun can create.
		I'm trying to think of a film to compare "American Gun" to and the only one I can think of is "The Usual Suspects." Not in terms of subject matter but rather that both films mean something else when viewed a second time.
		The ending of "American Gun" is so effective and damn clever that you'll need to watch the whole film again to appreciate it.

		Three stories unfold in Aric Avelino's touching and sometimes difficult drama "American Gun", centering on the 3-year aftermath of shootings at a high school not unlike Columbine and the link between the three is the ever-present, dangerous object that we know of as the gun.
		And to top it all, one of his top students carries a gun to school for reasons of his own that are later confirmed in a harrowing moment when the kid faces real danger at the hand of a crazy man with a loaded gun.
		Yes, it is true that guns have caused grave violence in our history, yet they do not directly cause the horror--it is humans that pull the trigger; however, in many ways guns have been a positive in our society, as they oftentimes can be protective and shield us from evil.

	American Handgunner Gun Rights
		The high water mark of gun control legislation was passage in the 1990s of the Brady Act (which provides for federal background checks as a condition to purchasing handguns) and the assault weapon ban.
		The major legislative gun rights victory in this period is clearly the passage of “shall issue” concealed carry laws in 35 states since Florida first enacted such a law in the 1980s.
		Unfortunately, however, the scholarship and social science cannot eliminate the emotional appeal of gun control — simplistic, and not to be underestimated.
