Summary:

A documentary that details a little slice of what makes America Great. A town in Illinois creates an ordinance that bans all guns from city limits. So, when a neighboring small town hears of this, they pass a regulation that it becomes illegal not to have a gun. The documentary focuses on the inhabitants of the town, and tries to come to an understanding of them.

 

 

My Comments and Spoilers:

This story has to be seen to be believed. I won't go so far as to say these people are Gun Nuts, but they do love their guns. The documentary was filmed with a grant from the government, and shouldn't be missed. The story eventually gets around to following the efforts of a Political Action Committee and focuses ont he efforts of one person. In true documentary form, the chroniclers don't really interject their opinions into the piece(ok, not heavyhandedly or with an axe to grind), and it works. The story does settle down
