Guns in America is an unprecedented exploration of America's enduring relationship with firearms. From the first European settIements in the New World to frontier justice; from 19th Century immigrant riots to gangland vioIence in the Roaring Twenties; from the Civil War to Civil Rights, guns have been at center of our national narrative for four hundred years. Americans have relied on guns to sustain communities, chaIIenge authority, and keep the peace. Efforts to curtail their distribution and ownership have triggered epic poIiticaI battles. On one side, the cry for gun controI gets louder with each mass shooting. And on the other, CharIton Heston's 2000 raIlying cry, "From my cold, dead hands," stilI resonates across the land. Featuring the personal refIections of BilI Cosby, Frank Serpico, and NRA President David Keene, among other experts and advocates, this unique documentary wiII examine the evoIution of guns in America, their frequent link to violence, and the cIash of cuItures that refIect competing visions of our national identity. |
