Gun Advocates Need To Support Culture and Entertainment That Is Pro Gun
From Bearing Arms:
About a year and a half ago, I reviewed a graphic novel here at Bearing Arms. It’s not something we normally do because, well, we’re a gun and Second Amendment site. Why would we be reviewing glorified comic books?
But Black Tide Rising was and is a little different. Based on a series of novels by John Ringo, it was an interesting case of a story of survival during the zombie apocalypse outbreak being written by someone who actually thinks your right to keep and bear arms is valid and incredibly useful for such an occasion.
It was only the first volume of a series of graphic novels that didn’t even fully cover the first book. Now, a crowdfunding campaign has kicked off to bring about volume 2.
TV Shows Now Attacking Legal Gun Possession
From Bearing Arms:
Why are two characters in search of “the perfect nanny”? Lopez fired her nanny towards the beginning of the episode because a gun fell out of the nanny’s purse. The way ABC set the stage made the nanny look like a rogue cowboy. A purse got moved and the gun fell out of it, not in a holster or anything.
If there were to be a complaint here, it’d revolve around ways a person could achieve responsible off-body carry. But that’s not how it all went down. “What the hell is a gun doing in your purse?” Lopez asked the nanny. She replied, “It’s for protection. I have a permit.” Lopez declared, “Not in my house you don’t.”
Hollywood’s Propaganda Against Armed Citizens
From The Federalist:
Entertainment programs always show defensive gun uses going wrong (the sole exception in the last decade is Paramount’s “Yellowstone”). Typically the citizen fails to defend himself and ends up murdered, accidentally shoots a loved one, or poses a danger to himself and the police. After the Supreme Court decision this past June striking down New York’s restrictions on concealed handguns, television shows have begun to demonize concealed-carry permits.
Chinese Propaganda Movie Shows USA As The Bad Guy
From National Review:
In Wolf II, China is the only powerful, responsible, and benevolent world power. Chinese workers help Africans build their economy. Chinese doctors work to discover a cure for a deadly endemic. And the film unabashedly takes several swipes at the U.S. When African and Chinese civilians inside a factory are under attack by rebels and mercenaries, the only good American in the movie, Rachel Smith, a Chinese-American volunteer, fanatically tries to contact the U.S. embassy for help. Leng asks her, “Why are you calling the Americans? Where are they? It is a waste of time.†After she tells him that she tried to reach American government by Twitter, Leng responds that “the Americans are good for nothing.â€
The New Gun Culture
From The Reload:
“Right at the height of all of the craziness is when I bought my first pistol and rifle,†Keys told The Reload. “I didn’t know where all that was gonna go. So I just figured, ‘you know what, let me go to this gun show and just try to pick up a rifle and a pistol before I can’t get it anywhere.’ It was the last gun show before they shut everything down.â€
Less than a year later, he’s part of another expanding group: new gun owners who have already turned into activists. He now co-hosts Guns Out TV with Shermichael Singleton, another black gun owner. The pair uses the program to show what black gun ownership in America looks like while being educational and, especially, entertaining.
Sniper: Inside The Crosshairs
Last night The History Channel aired one of the finer programs that I have seen on that channel. The program was two hours of real world stories of snipers from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. The program showed some of the longest shots in sniper warfare and discussed the force multiplier effect of a sniper on the battlefield. I highly recommend this show for anyone slightly interested in the subject.
