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? | 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. So yup, it does portray gun owners in a bad light. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 06:39, 16 December 2010 (UTC) | :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.

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?
