Upcoming Geneva 'Friday Flick' to Center on Guns, Greed, NRA

Making a Killing, which will be shown Friday, July 22 at 7pm, is a timely look at the costs of gun ownership to our society.

Making a Killing, which will be shown Friday, July 22 at 7pm, is a timely look at the costs of gun ownership to our society. The NRA spent more than $27 million on congressional races in 2014, according to opensecrets.org, which monitors political lobbying. In recent years the guns and ammunition industry had estimated revenues of more than $11 billion annually. The documentary notes that one person in the U.S. is killed with a gun every 16 minutes and that 92% of Americans favor background checks on all gun buyers.

The film is part of the free monthly fourth-Friday Film programs that are sponsored by the Social Justice Team of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva. The public is encouraged to register at http://uusg.org/friday-flicks/ to receive email notices of future programs.
