In Under the Gun, Katie Couric and Stephanie Soechtig—the team responsible for Fed Up, which looked at the food industry and the alarming spread of childhood obesity—examine why, despite the increase in deaths at the hands of guns and the outpouring of shock and outrage that comes with it, our nation has failed to respond with meaningful action. Through the lens of families impacted by the mass shootings in Newtown, Aurora, Isla Vista and Tucson, as well as daily gun violence in Chicago, the film examines why our national politicians are refusing to act and what is being done at the state and local levels. |

What do you mean we haven't addressed gun violence? 20,000 laws about guns have been put on the books in the name of doing just that. They don't work, of course, but at what point will they concede that the issue has been "addressed?"
If you want to know why the Democrats in particular are refusing to take any action that might break the cycle of generational poverty, dependence, learned helplessness, and despair, the answer is obvious. It suits the Democratic agenda to have a permanent underclass that needs lots of entitlements and commits a lot of violent crime. Actually helping their urban voters escape that environment and join the middle class would deprive them of their most reliable voting bloc. Not gonna happen. |

| There is no such thing as gun violence, a gun can do nothing without a person holding it, so it is people violence, more to the point, outlaw violence that needs to be explored and enforced. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
