The Last Gun challenges the myths of liberty and security purveyed by the gun industry and the gun lobby that serves it, and exposes the quest for profit that drives these myths.
I've come to think nra 'super' president charlton heston switched from being a solid gun control advocate in the 60s/70s to becoming gunnut in chief for the nra, out of a 'quest for profit'.
.. he first made a lot of money making those biblical movies (some of which were good - ben hur, moses etc), then when those started waning he turned to bible tapes with his godlike booming voice echoing this & that gospel & parable - so he was a special exception from being kicked out of the temple, they let him stay.
.. so then, like obama's parable about clinging to guns & the bible, charlatan saw that by linking the two, he could profit (for god & gunnut) by becoming a gun enthusiast rather than remaining a guncontrol advocate, since the latter are pretty much forced into vows of poverty from the git go, not having the gun industry behind them with rabid gunsales to rabid gunnuts. Praise the lord & pass the ammunition charlatan.
.. but I never considered charlton heston a 'hypocrite' for switching sides, tho I did think him devolving & a degenerating jerkwad for doing so, perhaps early stage alzheimers (low blow jimmy).
.. similarly, our mr weinstein making the anti nra movie has made several capitalist oinkings in his past, but isn't a hypocrite for doing that, similar to heston, since weinstein hasn't profited from the gun industry.
If a porno movie maker makes a few million off porno, then tries to profit off churchgoers by making a movie for them, yeah hypocrite, but if he subsequently makes an expose' about pornography, no hypocrite (within reason).
Hypocrites: wayne lapierre & ted nugent, supposed advocates of integrity & safety yet in reality putting profits & propaganda above all. Rush limbaugh, calling for strict drug sentences while abusing oxycontin; john wayne making war hero movies while dodging the draft saying he's so important for national morale he shouldn't have to go to wwII after he was drafted into it 1A.
And our democrat nominee blagoyavich (sp) who is our classic hypocrite for trying to sell obama's senate seat while double talking he's such the righteous one.
