No sooner does the brief, biographical opening credits sequence end then former U.S. representative Gabby Giffords is lying in a hospital bed, a gunshot wound to the head making it next to impossible for her to do something as simple as giving a thumbs up. Her husband, retired astronaut and current U.S. Senator Mark Keller, thinking that somewhere down the road Ms. Giffords might want to see what she endured, bought a camera and started filming. Filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen (RBG) triggered my core emotions and I can’t thank them enough. Fanboys take note: this, not a tale of some masked lunatic hacking up a summer camp, is a true American horror movie. But a story that takes the fun and merchandising out of slaughtering innocents has no place at Comic Con. I don’t ask that guns be taken away — Ms. Giffords was a gun-owner — nor do I wish to violate anyone’s right as an American citizen to use a semi-automatic rifle to shoot tin cans off a fence. I ask that you watch this movie and see if you don’t agree that the slight inconvenience imposed by stricter gun laws is worth it to prevent another lone psychopath from using our citizenry for target practice.
