I known people who bought guns during the big semi auto scare who have never taken them to the range. I've tried to get them to come with me but can tell they are afraid and don't know what to expect, like there are going to be a bunch of knuckle-dragging macho gorillas waiting there to humiliate them or something. A video de-mystifying Koko Head would be a step in the right direction. Show off how things work, what's available, and how to safely conduct yourself. Maybe find a range officer who can smile during an interview is too much to ask, though.

That's a great idea.   
The first time I went to Kokohead was very intimidating as I had no idea what to expect.

Might be a good way to start without any politics or drama.

Still like my idea though.

The kids part is my favorite. A lot of women draw the line at having firearms in the home when that happens, but at a certain age children can be taught responsibility. If society chooses to do so versus continuing to treat them like stupid little pets is another story.

Funny, the mind.  I actually did a piece on the SSF back in 2007, and had forgotten about it.  I've managed to find the tape (yes, tape) it's mastered on.  I'll see what I can do about getting it posted on a YouTube or some such in the next few days. 

Here's my 2 cents. (probably only really worth 1 cent )

- Start with an edited version of my daughters essay on the last rally. ( https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=7691.msg73237#msg73237 )
     being read over images of the last rally. ( I know we have photos )
- Interview members of this forum and their professions to show we're upstanding citizens and productive members of the community.
    - Dentist
    - Entrepeneur
    - College student / Aspiring Pilot
    - Whatever other upstanding jobs we all have.
     - Whatever KK does for a living other than buying more guns and ammo.  ( JK )
- Feature kids of members. Have them recite the 4 rules of firearms ( which they should know by heart already if they're handling firearms )
        -  Can be a group interview, like town hall meeting, to make it cuter. ( and our kids would get to meet each other )
        - Safer to know how to handle a firearm if one is found in school than to have only seen one in movies.
        - Ex:  Pearl City inter or Highlands incident where kid picked up found gun, put finger on the trigger and almost shot another student by accident.
- Feature Skinny Panda and HDF fun days. Skinny Panda ( woman ) comes and checks it out and ends up loving it. Get her story.
- Do a concealed carry re-enactment like noted by Hvybarrels ( but with better acting )
- conclude with our next rally ( if we have one in a timely fashion that coincides with the making of this video )
- Or conclude with some script about our constitutional rights and that guns can save lives and protect families in the right hands.
- Or use a tactic like American Blackout and depict a home invasion and make people think about if they don't own a gun, maybe they should.

I'd be willing to help. Whatever the decision on content is.

Edit:
Hvybarrels, couple beers and I've seen better acting at our Pau Hana's 

i forgot about your daughter's essay
that's a great place to start

my concept-
aieahound doing the narration, with noscade interrupting him every 3 minutes

Happy Aloha Friday.

Ok, I was off a little.  The show I did was from the 2005 Hunting & Fishing Day.  I stuck it up on YouTube .

Oddly enough, looking through my archives, I also have footage labeled from SSF 2006 and SSF 2007, but I don't recall actually DOING anything with that footage.  I'll keep rooting around, maybe there are master tapes still to be discovered.  The nice thing about digital video tape is that it's small, cheap, and easy to archive.  The problem with digital videotape is that it's small, cheap, and easy to archive.  I've got hundreds of these in storage, and no real system.  I mean, it's not like I ever expected to actually USE my archives...

Good stuff Tom! That dude in the ponytail looks familiar.

Here is a good interview of an anti-gun to ar-15 owner.
