BELLEVUE, WA –-(Ammoland.com)- The Second Amendment Foundation will be hosting the cast and crew of the pro 2nd Amendment film Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire at booth 16753 throughout the SHOT show.
Assaulted, is feature length documentary that takes a step back from the normal public discourse that is filled with emotional rhetoric, to offer unique perspectives on the Second Amendment’s significance in American society while taking a critical look at current gun laws and their effect on public safety and civil rights.
Created by two-time Emmy winning producer and writer Kris Koenig (400 Years of the Telescope, the upcoming Fight for Space) and co-produced by Eric Katzenberg (“Secrets of Navy SEALS,” “American Guns”), the film is narrated by critically acclaimed rapper and actor Ice-T (Law and Order: SVU).
With the purpose of igniting a meaningful gun control conversation, Assaulted sought out constitutional historians, lawyers, law enforcement, educators, anti-violence leaders, gun rights activists and gun owners to lend their voices to the film. The result is more than 30 interviews from advocates on both sides of the argument.
Several of these individuals will be available to meet during the show – see the attached schedule for appearance days and times. The producers will be available throughout the show.
Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire is now available on DVD ( https://tiny.cc/cbid9w ) for retail sale and retailers are encouraged to stop by booth 16753 to find out about the SHOT Show special that includes a point of purchase display with each qualifying order.
What the critics think about ASSAULTED
“‘Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire’ is a reasoned counter to Michael Moore’s ‘Bowling for Columbine’ and, as such, a constructive addition to the current national firearms debate.” –
Los Angeles Times“‘Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire’ comes across as too thoughtful and well researched – in short, too reasonable — to be easily dismissed as mere agitprop.” –
Variety“[The film’s] real purpose is to bring some historical perspective to the argument, to move the conversation beyond emotion-based rhetoric.” –
LA Weekly“Testifies to the vital importance of gun ownership” –
