Don't believe the poor reviews from gun nuts.

It's actually more of an anti-lobying movie than a pro gun control film. A pivotal scene involves of of the characters being saved by a concealed carry gun owner. At the end Sloan's lawyer sarcastically tells her "Congratulations. Criminals must now endure the hassle of getting their guns on the black market."

It's too bad right wing gun nuts always have to look at any sensible gun control as the Left's attempt to ban guns. Universal background checks are favored by the majority of people in the USA. Do the responsible gun owners really want terrorists, rapists, convicted felons etc... to have guns? Is this really up for debate?

Anyways it is a good movie if you're willing to look at it without the pro gun nut filter on. 7.5/10

Kinda kills your point when you argue that there should be UBCs but concede that criminals get their guns off the black market

Indeed. Plus, the only way UBC's can really be effective is with universal registration, and look at what happens when guns are registered. For example, the UK. Now, it's next to impossible to get handguns there, and even long guns are difficult to obtain--legally, that is. But criminals can still get guns in the UK. Not as easily as they can in the US, but they can still get them.
