Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA

​Watch an informative movie about the NRA. “Making a Killing” is based on the true story of a special investigator who is assigned to a murder in a small South-western town, but soon finds that underneath the surface is a foundation of lies and greed that, when revealed, will rock the community to its core.

"Making a Killing" can be rented or streamed online from Amazon or YouTube.  ​
