    Storyline

    Edit
    A drastic rise in mass shootings has ripped across the US in recent years. Despite a growing body count and the chorus of outrage that comes with it, America has failed to respond. The film explores why this is and how the firearms industry's lobbying group, the National Rifle Association, has developed a stranglehold on the politics of the issue. Searing and powerful, Under the Gun ultimately gives a human face to a crisis that is scarring the conscience of a nation.

    Epix ceo says the timing is never right than now
    Sounds like pimp in action to me wants the of both worlds Look at the movies that movies with Gun Violence being are air on Epix channels majority are of gun violence they go ahead and show these movies knowing that they will make them rich.

    Then s they go out scream into a microphone saying they feel guns should be banned and/or controlled.

    They know they can get rich having it both ways they can get rich and fattening their bank accounts..

    I will bet like all CEO's Actors they have their armed guard 24/7. the average person does not... GIVE ME A BREAK YOU PIMPS!
