A gun-controller's wetdream

“You’d think a movie entitled Bill’s Gun Shop must have some redeeming value,” Claire Wolfe writes. “You’d be wrong.” Claire rented the film, billed as an “action-packed drama,” and “found it the most unintentionally hysterical film I’ve seen in a while — the Reefer Madness of gun movies. If Michael Moore and Diane Feinstein had a child who went to film school, this would be his senior project.”

Claire continues: “With hand-wringing intensity, the film follows the adventures of 23-year-old Dillon. Brainwashed from a childhood filled with toy guns and violent movies, this otherwise-nice kid is obsessed with (gasp!) firearms. When he’s hired on at Bill’s Gun Shop, he is predictably pulled into the dark, chaotic world of the gun culture. Stereotypes dripping of propaganda abound.”

I found Bill’s Gun Shop listed at Amazon. It’s dated 2005, is “unrated,” and looks like a direct-to-DVD item, perhaps intended originally for the Big Screen but bumped by more sophisticated works like Big Momma’s House 2 and RV. I’ll be avoiding this one, although, who knows, it may become a libertarian “cult classic” a la Reefer Madness. Regardless, check out Claire’s post. It’s fun...and she even offers rules for a Bill’s Gun Shop Drinking Game!
