How'd you like a chance to win a FREE AR-15 
on Christmas Day?!
 
Yes, you read that right. 

A FREE AR-15!
 
The AR-15 we're giving away, carried by actor
Blake Burt in The Reliant
It is the rifle carried by actor Blake Burt in  THE RELIANT (pictured right). 
personally own the DPMS AR-15 5.56/.223 caliber rifle, and am putting it up as a  giveaway to help spread the word about this amazing, life-changing movie. 

Did you know an  AR-15 was the type of r ifle carri ed by the mass  murderer who killed 26 and injured 20 in a Texas church recently?

Why in the world would we give away such a rifle in the wake of this horrible tragedy?

Stephen Willeford
I'll tell you why. Stephen Willeford. 

As reported by the L.A. Times, the plumber was barefoot when his daughter informed him about the gunshots coming from the church next door in Sutherland Springs, Texas. He grabbed his AR-15 and engaged the mass murderer, shooting him twice. The criminal dropped his weapon, fled in his car and died on the side of the road soon thereafter. 

Who knows how many Sunday services the murderer would have visited if it weren't for Stephen Willeford and his AR-15. 
 
I am giving away my AR-15 to celebrate  the courage of  Stephen Willeford. B ut his courage wasn't enough, was it? He also had to have the means to defend others. Our forefathers knew that, and that's why they secured this right in the Bill of Rights and Constitution, and required our leaders to take an  oath to uphold and defend it. 

 
I'm deeply concerned about our leaders' tireless  attempts to deprive us of this right in order "to keep us safe." The politicians' remedy for gun murders is gun control, but did you know that the Texas murderer   Being convicted of domestic violence, he ALREADY was legally forbidden to own a firearm.
 
A law banning firearms may have prevented Stephen Willeford from having his AR-15, but not the murderer who was already breaking the law to own one. This proves true the old adage: 

If guns are outlawed, only out laws will own guns! 

As our politicians dream up worthless laws to protect us from gun violence, here's a statistic that will keep you up at night: 

COMPARING DEATHS FROM GUNS VS. GOVERNMENT DISARMAMENT

Mass murder from guns in the U.S.: 
1. Las Vegas 2017 - 59 killed
2. Orlando 2016 - 49 killed
3. Virginia Tech 2007 - 32 killed
4. Sutherland Springs, TX 2017  - 26 killed
5. Eileen, TX 1991 - 23 murdered

Mass murder from governments:
1. Hitler's Holocaust 1939-1945 - 11 to 17 million (80% of Europe's Jews killed)
2. Ukrainians murdered by Stalin 1932-1933 - 4.5 to 13.7 million (10% of population)
3. Cambodia's "Killing Fields" 1975-1979 - 1.3 to 3 million (30% of population)
4. Armenian genocide 1915-1922 - 700,000 to 1.5 million (50% of Armenians in Turkey)
5. Rwanda 1994 - 500,000 to 1 million (70% of Tutsis killed)

Dead bodies don't lie. When you look at the facts, which is more dangerous? Guns in the hands of the people, or a government that disarms its people, as most mass-murdering governments do? We have MUCH more to worry from a government that tries to disarm the people than we do from the people with guns. The larger the "gun-free zone", the more people die from guns! 

That's why Thomas Jefferson said, 

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right 
to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect  themselves against tyranny in government." 

The right to keep and bear the means of our self-defense comes from God, not government. Even the Second Amendment didn't give us the right to keep firearms. Like the First Amendment's right to free speech, God gives us these rights, and the government's duty is to secure them. If they don't, Thomas Jefferson described such governments as the "strongest reason" to bear arms.

Don't buy the lie that banning guns keeps you safer. Freedom is safer than tyranny, and tyranny is INFINITELY MORE DANGEROUS than madmen with guns. 
 
Harvard economist John Lott  in his groundbreaking book "More Guns Less Crime"  looked at gun crimes and their relationship to 
gun control and proved conclusively that gun control increases , not decreases , gun crimes.  Just look at cities like Baltimore with the most gun murders! These cities also tend to have the most gun control laws, laws which managed to dis arm only the victims. 

Blaming guns for murder is like blaming a fork for obesity. It's intellectually lazy. No, I take that back, not lazy, stupid! Because more forks don't prevent obesity, but statistics and common sense agree - more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens prevent gun crimes! 

The impact The Reliant could have on the culture is profound, which is why our investors and Produ ct Integration clients include the Smith & Wesson, Doubletap Ammo, Subscription Ammo, Barrel Buddy, and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association

So to celebrate gun safety and responsible gun ownership, on Christmas day, we will give away  my AR-15 to one of you, mailed via the FFL provider of your choice.

WHAT ONE CO-PRODUCER SAID WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE MOVIE

"This is the best use of $50,000 ever, even if I don't make a dime on it. I had no idea the quality would be so high. The action is as good as the Jason Bourne films, but with a God-honoring message. I cried five times! Tell me what it will cost for a 10% share in your sequel..."
