See 'Making a Killing: Guns, Greed, and the NRA' July 22
Robert Greenwald's documentary "Making a Killing: Guns, Greed, and the NRA," a timely look at the costs of gun ownership to society, will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday, July 22, at Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, 102 S. Second St.
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 percent 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 uusg.org/friday-flicks/ to receive email notices of future programs.
