Does this film try to portray gun owners as extremist, militia nut jobs, or is it simply a movie about a radical group fighting the government without trying to convey an overt political message to the audience?
- Well Dean Cain's ATF Agent character lays it down pretty well that if you like guns and enjoy shooting them that your a twisted violent nutjob. It has the typical rhetoric of "you don't need an automatic weapon unless you live in >Insert third world country here<"; and that if you want/have a fully automatic weapon then you are Hellbent on killing innocent people. There is also a scene with a gun show vendor sinisterly mocking the ATF and boasting about skipping a background check.

William Fain's militia in the beginning had a slightly sympathetic portrayal, however after the beginning scenes you could have swapped the name militia and terrorist and you would've never known the difference. --AdAstra2009 07:32, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Unidentified S&W
I compared it to all of the S&W autos on this site, and the only one I could find with a rounded triggerguard, ambi safety, non-tapered dust cover, and a slide that extended that far past the frame was the Smith & Wesson 4506-1. The sights in the stock photo are different, but the description mentions it being available with several with different sight options.--PistolJunkie 18:09, 17 March 2011 (CDT)
