Cheers KnobCreek, but it wasnt you that made the dumbass comment.

Quoted:
The most overtly pro-gun movie ever was Red Dawn however.

Do made for TV movies count?

You might enjoy "Uprising".

Much better pro-RKBA movie (and at least it's based on a factual event).

Quoted:
I'll still see Lord of War for the guns.

Or think like the 60's radicals and steal the movie off the web!

I will probably buy a ticket for another movie and see Lord of War.

Oh man, and the ads looked cool too.

Oh well, I guess I'll stick to renting Kung Fu Hustle!

But if you like the gun running plot of the movie in "lord of War" then wouldn't you like this movie?

Rent it. Don't inflate his box office numbers.

Quoted:
Gee, have you noticed most of your little pissant countries like NZ, Denmark, et al are HOMOGENOUS?]

Who the fuck are you calling 'pissant'?

News flash, pal...we have dickheads in NZ just the same as you have dickheads in the US. Niccol doesnt speak for me or NZ gun owners, and he obviosuly knows nothing about NZ gun ownership. Surprise, surprise. Hes obviously been warped by the Hollywierd asshat machine during his time there, surrounded by his left wing looney mates.

NZ has stood by the US for a century, and especially so in the last four. By all means slag him off, but dont insult my FUCKING country!!!

Good on ya, mate!

(Don't worry, it's Cascade

)

I was waiting for a proud EnZed gunner to speak out...

Yeah, I know. Before you know it, emotions start running high and the ARFCOM frenzy will begin. Pretty soon this one asshat from NZ becomes the spokeman representing not only NZ, but the entire South Pacific.

Don't get me wrong, thie passion is what makes ARFCOM so enjoyable, and sometime kind of offensive.

Anyhow, Cheers to you Paul

Quoted:
You Know....If the movie Dr. Strangelove came out today...Half this board would claim that it was Pro-commie and that Stanley Kubrick was the biggest anti-gun, anti-war and anti-military bastard since Michael Moore.

About half of you would go see it, then come back and recommend that no one else go see it, because Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, and Slim Pickens were hollywood lefties.

Then someone would post long diatribes requesting that box-o-truth.com do tests on Coke machine change boxes with M-1 Carbine's, to prove the factual firearms error of the movie.

Then they'd want anybody who thought Dr. Strangelove was funny...drug to the pit for AR15.com political re-education.

It would be anouther Grand Example of the small group of Ultra Right Wing AR15.com thought police laying down the politically correct party line for the rest of us.

I love Dr. Strangelove. One of the best movies .....ever. But a lot of us understand satire.

Good post too.

Quoted:
Don't go to any movies. Why we continue to support these arrogant cocksuckers with our money is beyond me. They take our money, get rich, and then gain a spotlight by virute of their popularity to vocally support nearly everything I'm against. Nope, not from me.

Just what I've bee saying all along. Every time I see some thread on "Who went to see" I just want to puke. All the pissing about the asshats in Hollywierd, then you run off and support them. Talk about the ARFcom army, maybe we (and our familys) should band together and NOT go see...

Quoted:
"Nine out of 10 war victims die from a gun."

Not really. Disease kills many more. But facts shouldn't get in the way of a good movie, now, should they?

In most modern warfare artillery kills far more than small-arms, too.

I really like this quote. You can tell Vinterberg is a Sooper-Genius.

(Speaking of when a gun is used for evil) "Neither the gun itself nor the gun-holder is evil."

You got me Goblin, what is the name of the movie?

Braveheart: The most pro-RKBA movie ever made.

How about another Mel Gibson movie "The Patriot" when he gives his sons muskets and gives them the order to kill the enemy! That movie rocked.

"My sons were better men" as he twists the bayonet.

liberals are to society what cancer is to a body.

We can expect them to continue their hate speech. Hate is in their nature.

Ban assault humans. Can you say "full-birth abortion"?

The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world.

I thought the russians held that title? Cant ever remember seing to many M16's when they show a civil war in some little third world country.

Hey, my Kiwi friends (New Zealanders) may not have handguns, but sure wish they did.

They can and do, my friend. But you have to have an appropriate endorsement on your firearms license. And belong to a 'recognised' pistol club. No CCW laws here, unfortunately.

Me, I dont....carry one for work, not too keen to carry one at home

Theres this horrible thing called piracy where people download movies and software without paying for it. You'd never want to do such and thing and not give the creator their due would you? I didn't think so.

The US dominates the high end of arms sales, which drives up our numbers. It doesn't take very many F-16 sales to make up for a lot of AK-47 sales. Besides, the AK is very widely copied because the commie rooskies didn't nail down the intellectual property rights.

Screw Hollywood. I haven't paid to see any of their crap for years. Nicholas Cage is a freak.

NZ gun a laws don't seem to be all that restrictive, relative to what Mr. Hollydick says. A little over 10% of the 4million inhabitants of NZ have gun permits.

Fuck it! 2 days after it's released I'll be able to buy a pirated copy from the Haji shop and watch it in my room.

It's too simple to blame the gun, Vinterberg believes. "Guns have come to be a symbol of evil, but that's confused things a little bit," he says. "Neither the gun itself nor the gun-holder is evil. The thing we have to look at is this: The moment fear, greed or pride steps into the picture, then people start firing away."

This is used in many RKBA aruguments. The article is decidedly anti-gun but I am supprised this quote was included.

That guy is an asshole. I especially like the part where he admitts that he is selling the tanks he used in his movie to Libya right after spouting off his bullshit about how Americans need to be disarmed. HE'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING AMERICAN. FUCK HIM, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL THAT COCK-SUCKER TO WORRY ABOUT HIS OWN FUCKING COUNTRY.

I wonder if anybody has told that asshole about the 100's of millions of people that were murdered by their own governments in the 20th century, more then died in combat. I would love to have an argument with that fucker and then at the end say "That's why I am an American and you are not, because I believe in and understand freedom, so why don't you go home and fuck up your own country."

I want to find out how many people in the 20th century died in gas chambers and ovens as opposed to from gunfire. That would really hammer the point home wouldn't it.

Quoted:

"In a way, my film is a how-to about becoming an arms dealer," Niccol says. "During the making of it, I needed guns in the Czech Republic, and it was cheaper to use real guns than replicas. I bought 3,000 Kalashnikovs and then sold them back at a loss. I wouldn't make a very good arms dealer."

He couldn't afford to destroy them because he had such a small budget, but he says, "In South Africa, we did cut some guns in half to stop them from getting into circulation.

Niccol hopes "Lord of War" opens audiences' eyes. "We begin the movie showing the life span of a bullet, from manufacture to entering the head of an African child," he says. "Nine out of 10 war victims die from a gun."

No shit shirlock...

These people will get none of my money...

No shit Sherlock... would be correct but we have bigger concerns than that!

Can anyone name the Pro-Gun movie companies, directors, stars, critics etc., etc., etc.?

We also got some tanks, and the guy said, 'I need them back by December because I'm selling them to Libya'.

that's pretty funny!

guess i'll be missing them two flicks...

There's no reason to get worked up over two pieces of fiction. It's the same thing we tell out kids. "It's just a movie, it's not real" If the director wants to live in a fantasy and think he's making a true political statement and we're all listening, let him.
Most people I know live in the real world, and can tell the difference between reality and fantasy. The ones that don't, won't get let out for movies so fuck em.

Fuck them. They are not going to change the Constitution. Our rights will NOT be infringed upon unless we elect Democrats in enough numbers that they return to power.

Quoted:
go to imdb and look up Red Dawn, click on the director John Milius, you will see he has worked on a number of ARFC favs, such as Apocalypse Now, Conan the Barbarian, Dirty Harry, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Magnum Force, if he is not pro gun, he missed a good chance.

edit: I forgot to add.. Farewell to the King, Rough Riders, and Flight of the Intruder.

John Milius is on the NRA's Board of Directors. I'd say he's pro-gun.

Q. Are Suppressors legal in New Zealand? You mean that I can buy one straight across the counter by producing my New Zealand Firearms Licence?
A. Yes

You still need to prove you own a firearm apparently.
