I recently found out that we will be watching "Bowling for Columbine" in my High School Senior civics class. I insisted that a very pro-gun documentary be shown as well, and the teacher agreed. So what are some good ones?

There was an excellent youtube video that gave a good historical argument about the importance of the right to bear arms. It showed what happened to the peoples of Nazi Germany, Russia, and Cambodia when their right to bear arms was taken away.
My google fu is weak and I cannot find the video. [img='middle']http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif[/img] ETA: Excellent suggestion on the film "In search of the Second Amendment". Here's a sample of what that film is like. link |

Although that film may be a little too intense for some high school kids too watch. A question for the others too. Do you focus on the "self defense" aspect of 2A or the "protection from a tyrant government" part? Which would be a better presentation for HS students? |

Link 1 Link 2 link 3 FOR THE DVD YOU WILL NEED THIS ONE AND iTS CHEAP: Season 3 The Penn and Teller is the best approach as they tend to provide the best combination of facts, logic, humor, and simplicity of message. Their video's are a joy to watch regardless of the topic. If you could pick one route - Penn and Teller would get my nod. Many of the other recommendations are just entertainment flicks - no one is going to take you seriously if you chose those. The only concern with P&T is there video's are essentially rated R level. So I'm concerned you may not be able to play them in a class room setting. Is there a PG cleaned up version available? |

If you REALLY want to convert some or all of the people in your class they need to watch this one hour episode. SERIOUSLY. Tell your teacher you will watch the two hour bowling for Columbine on the condition that your one hour show gets to air second. Show them that, then show them this, then WIN. |
