Second Amendment
Film ‘Targeted’ Exposes and Destroys Gun Control Agenda
by AWR Hawkins 8 Sep 2016
On September 29, Targeted: Exposing the Gun Control Agenda will appear in theaters
nationwide for one night only. The movie not only exposes the agenda behind the
gun control movement but also the importance of freedom and the way that
freedom rests on the pro-gun heritage handed to us by our Founding Fathers.
The filmmaker behind Targeted is Jesse Winton, a
22-year-old man who was only 20 when he made the film out of concern that his
generation was losing touch with America’s history and all the lessons that
that history holds for us regarding America as framed by the Constitution.
The film follows Winton as he travels throughout
America to meet with politicians, gun makers, journalists, gun control
activists, scholars and historians to discuss the Second Amendment and what gun
ownership means in America — as well as what it meant to our Founding Fathers.
He travels to Switzerland to study their gun culture and to see what gun
ownership means — as well as what it was supposed to mean
— to a nation where owning guns is embraced and celebrated as part of
life.
Throughout his travels, Winton uncovers the ridiculous
bordering on asinine regarding gun control proponents and their agenda for
disarming Americans. At the same time, he uncovers what one could truly call
America.
“Growing up an American I always knew that America was
unique because it was free,” Winton said while introducing the film during a
screening on Wednesday. “But today I’m watching the freedoms that we have slip
away.”
The young filmmaker said his purpose was to uncover
the agenda behind the “fight against freedom:” “What would happen to our
country if our guns were taken away?”
The film begins as various 911 calls from the December 14,
2012 Sandy Hook Elementary attack play and the viewer is quickly plunged into
the middle of the left’s bests attempts to use the emotion of crisis to pass
gun laws that have nothing to do with preventing similar attacks. The film is
an experience that begins as a roller coaster ride — full of trepidation and
questions — but slowly levels off into a smooth journey across flatter
land, where perspective allows the viewer to see how moments of horrendous
tragedy are used as opportunities to chip away at freedom, and how promises are
seemingly made in an altruistic attempt to soothe the emotionally distraught,
while the real motivation behind the promises is greater centralized control.
Once the journey flattens out, Winton talks to public
figures involved in the gun debate, including former California
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, former Governor Mike Huckabee, former NRA president
David Keene, U.S. Representative Joe Wilson and others about what exactly the
gun control advocates were trying to take from us during the relentless gun
control push that marked the aftermath of Sandy Hook. These conversations are
interspersed with statements from gun controllers who continue pushing for more
gun laws and bans on “assault weapons,” among other things. The pro-gun and
anti-gun positions meet in a way that leads Winton to observe:
“What I was learning through all of this, is that in
almost every way — whether it came down to gun owners themselves or gun owners
in America — gun control advocates didn’t even understand the issue.”
A video of Michael Bloomberg is shown,
with Bloomberg saying: “Pistols are different, you have to pull the
trigger each time. An assault weapon you basically hold [the trigger] and it
goes da-da-da.” (The “da-da-da” was Bloomberg making a machine gun sound with
his mouth.)
A video of California state senator Kevin de Leon (D) pushing gun control appears in Targeted
as well. The video shows the senator standing in front of cameras, holding a
compact semiautomatic rifle, and pushing gun control by saying: “This is a
ghost gun. This right here has ability with a 30 caliber clip to disperse with
30 bullets within half a second: 30 magazine clip in half a second.”
As the end of the film approaches, Winton has woven
things in a way that the major points are driven home with little effort. These
points include the freedom our Founders intended us to enjoy through gun
ownership versus the freedom-denying agenda of gun control proponents like
Bloomberg, Senator de Leon, President Obama and so many others.
Winton summarizes:
“By the end of my journey I had seen a lot. I had learned
what America was meant to be. We were created as a nation of free people. And I
had realized something more–that we will lose the battle for our freedom unless
we remember the legacy of America; a legacy that guaranteed that we can always
be free.
And I had found the answers to my questions: if our guns
were taken away we would become a nation ruled by tyrants rather than a nation
ruled by free people. I learned that our nation was built on this idea and that
we were headed away from those principles. I traveled across the world and I
have seen what will happen if we don’t stand up for freedom.”
