The Right of the People (1986)
History has proved this movie false
Since this movie was made, the majority of states have passed right to carry legislation and more people than ever now carry firearms. What is the result??? Crime continues to go down. Anti-gunners again missed their mark and history once again proves that firearms in the hands of citizens protect liberty and freedom as well as preventing crimes.
This movie was a typical example of the efforts of anti-gun leaning activists attempting to scare the non-gun owning public from gun owners. The idea that law abiding Americans will suddenly start killing each other in mass numbers just because they own a firearm is absurd. States with the highest percentage of gun ownership has the lowest amount of violent crime. Areas of the U.S. with very strict gun control laws (like New York, Washington DC, Maryland, Illinois, California) has the highest percentages of violent crime.
Red Dawn (1984)
I like the theme of this movie
I really love the theme of this movie, which is the importance of standing up for yourself. This may involve your country, your religion, your personal beliefs or your family. Whatever the case, you should not allow anyone to violate you and oppress you.
Don't get caught up in the era in which this movie was made. The use of Russians and Cubans as invaders represented the reality, or politics of the mid-1980s. You could replace them with any group that seeks to take over our lives, not necessarily from an outside invading force, but also from within.
There is an old saying which originated during World War II concerning the Nazi takeover of most of Europe......"First they (the Nazis) came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me." This movie represents the importance of being able to protect yourself, stand up for yourself and fight for what you believe in.
