Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire

Originally intended to empower citizens to protect themselves from oppressive or unjust governments, the idea might now seem like the plot of a Hollywood film. Yet, this has been a reality throughout American history. Before gun control was framed as a “common sense measure” to reduce violence, it was often used to suppress certain minority groups. Today, the trend in gun control tends to benefit the affluent and privileged, who use their influence to secure their Second Amendment rights and personal safety, while those with fewer resources face challenges. “Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire” is a compelling and enlightening documentary that delves into the origins of the Second Amendment, prompting viewers to reconsider the complexities of gun control and its impact on civil rights and freedom. Ultimately, ignorance can be deadly.
