Gun Life, A&E
To millions, guns are a symbol of gang violence and the pervasive threat of crime. To others, they are at the foundation of the freedoms all Americans enjoy.
There is hardly any topic more divisive than gun control. The debate is so polarized that, at times, there seems to be no middle ground. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTSTM takes aim at this highly charged subject with a virtual cross-country tour that gets to the roots of the gun culture in America. Experts like professor John Murrin and Senator Larry Craig shed light on the 2nd Amendment itself, examining exactly what it says and speculating on the founders' intents.
We'll go along on a big game hunt and hear from some of the many people who have saved their own lives--or their loved ones'--with guns. And we'll hear from people like white separatist Randy Weaver and former Black Panther Jamal Joseph, who see guns as a vital way to guard against the tyranny of an overbearing government.
From behind the scenes of a shoot-em-up action flick to the halls of Congress, this is an all-encompassing look at GUN LIFE in America.
