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.

Bayfront Gun Control Rally
Thursday, February 22, 2018
More than 200 people gathered at Sarasota’s Kissing Statue on February 22 for the weekly gun control rally. Sparked by the recent Parkland shooting, many of our church members, dressed in black, were among those who lined Bayfront Drive, waving signs and demanding stricter gun control laws.
Area residents have demonstrated along the Bayfront in support of stricter gun laws every Thursday afternoon starting at 4:00 PM for more than five years in response to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. Last Thursday's demonstration was the largest so far.
For more information or to sign up for email action alerts on gun control from our Social Justice Committee, email GunControl@uusarasota.org.
