Talk:Militia

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. --AdAstra2009 06:39, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

That's kind of what I figured. I haven't heard of this film before, but the term "Militia" has taken on the connotation of sociopathic gun-nuts trying to overthrow the government so I assumed this film would preach that kind of bullshit based on the title.
