Looking For Gun Enthusiasts

[Three44s]

I think it is revealing that this film maker has not opened up more. I get that he wants info but to what end?

The dust up about his use of the term “gun culture” does not bother me but it is a term used by the left. It may have revealed where his head really is.

Another thing that is interesting is that none of our member/friends from DU have chimed in, neither positively or negatively.

My .02 worth at this point

Sadly, most of these type of encounters do not end well from the gun owner's perspective. Whatever is out there, is always too interested in making all of us look like some sort of ultra right wing urban terrorist freak waiting to happen. Even if that is not your intention, if your project gets any major interest from anyone in the film industry, it will happen. I can almost guarantee it.

If you are serious...
Visit Alpine Creek Lodge in Alaska.
My favorite place in the world!
Brown bear season closes June 15th
Claude will arrange a guide.
Out of State license is pricey
and worth it.
You will learn more about firearms
(and bears)
than 90% of Americans.
Sit by the Susitna river yer not the top of the foodchain anymore.
www.alpinecreeklodge.com
Heaven on earth!
Off grid by a hundred miles.
Good road to it, Denali highway from Cantwell
left at the "Free Coffee" sign
after you cross the bridge.
If you throw a dart at a Alaskan map
Alpine Creek Lodge is a bullseye
on the south side of the Alaska range
It's a snowmachine paradise.
Bottomless snow by April.
Was a six hour drive from my house in North Pole
Spent all my vacations there.

GUN CULTURE???
I never knew till now that I should be ashamed of the phrase... I grew up in it!
Kinda like REDNECK, HILL BILLY, CRACKER... I ARE ONE!

So, OP, here are a few organizations to contact. They may be willing to grant you an interview, but be aware they're very good at seeing through the BS.

The Well Armed Woman
A Girl and a Gun
The DC Project

As an Australian I find it hard to believe that you know so little of gun ownership in your own country, which rang the first alarm bell for me, then you used the most insulting description of law abiding firearms owners. I would suggest you learn a little of American attitudes before you start tapping the keyboard. I only read the first page of this thread to get the general idea of how my American brothers felt in regard to your request and it was not surprising or unreasonable that most felt as they do. I was asked some years back to do some hand gun penetration tests of steel plates by a young university student, after some investigation on my part (being a Licenced PI at the time ) I found the guy was a paid member of the Greens, a socialist backed anti gun political party. To my American brothers, this is one Australian who backs your right to bear arms and your right to keep your belief to yourself if you so desire. Regards Stephen

With a long history of the media twisting gun owners words and portraying them badly(the chants of baby killer at the CNN townhall after Parkland come to mind) you are not going to find may willing to speak. I learned gun safety starting at age 5, and was shooting a pellet gun, age 7 I stepped up to the single shot 22lr, 12 I got my first shotgun a single shot 16 gauge my dad had as a kid. At 16 I bought a Ruger 10/22 and at 18 a Remington 870. Over the 54 years I have been shooting I have owned a wide variety of guns. With a messed up right shoulder(2 rotator cuff surgeries on it) I am a wee bit recoil shy and the AR-15 in .223 and 6.5 Grendel have become favorites due to low recoil.

Any Australian 'film maker" is for sure constructing an anti gun ownership propaganda film......the reason being funding is available for this kind of propaganda.......The worst set up I have seen was where a very genuine guy ,too trusting for sure,was set up to look like some kind of crazy freak ,by an ultra leftist anti gun reporter of the Australian Broadcasting Comission ,the national(taxpayer funded) ,free ,news provider.........And the media propaganda against the stupid Turkish lever action shotguns was something you had to see to believe.........Simple fact is ,if you want funding for a film in Australia ,an anti gun piece is guaranteed of getting government(taxpayer) money.

As an "armchair historian" I've read a LOT of history books, especially the 1861-65 War of Northern Aggression. There are many excellent books by very good authors but the stand out most readable and accurate author is Bruce Catton. A web search on his name will bring up several books, all of which are not only accurate but gives balance to the thoughts and passions that politicians on both sides used to drive the wedges that developed into a massive war.

It's worth considering that war was instigated by the "party pf the people", aka, Democrats, over the question of how to deal with blacks and how they are again using the issue of blacks to drive another set of wedges in American society. Think of this; in both cases, then and now, blacks have been denigrated as to helpless to live on their own feet and are manipulated into supporting the deep state demagogues promises even while we know modern Democrat politicians have never delivered on their grand promises in more than 100 years and don't intend to do so now.

The term "gun culture" is demeaning because it's nothing but an emotional lie invented by political socialist/liberals (aka, Democrats) seeking to roll over all of us so they can attain Marxist workers paradise ruled by powerful government forces. They would be just as happy to "break a few eggs to make an omelet for the poor" as Lenien, Stalin, Mao, Castro, and that little twit that has driven Venesuala's once strong economy into the depths of despair.

Dems know that a lot of us would proudly die on our feet as free men rather than live on our knees as groveling serfs before government. They think they could easily do that to a helpless public but they also know it will be a LOT more difficult so long as we can defend ourselves, our families ... and each other from them. Today's Dem leaders really hate that!

So, we don't have an American "gun culture" as such. What we do have is a very strong cultural tradition of living in freedom from overwelming government. Today's Dems really hate that so, once again, they are the driving force behind the current insurrections because of their plans for eventual subjection of us all and elimination of blacks! (Lenin called people like them "useful idiots", meaning people used to gain power and then tossed aside or killed because they're already proven to be dangerous to the ruling establishment!)

more antis trying to con gun owners.

Ayuh,
I think he should go tell it to the brown bear.
