A PSA-style video is being put together to counter the ridiculous demonization of AR-15s, and their owners, by the control freaks in power, and their useful idiots in the media, and especially the “March For Our Lives” movement.
To get right to the point, we’re looking for people who own AR-15s, and who are willing to make a short video, to be part of a montage-style video, the script of which is shown below (though it may change a bit). We want good video and audio quality, and we want to include a number of people of various professions, ages, races, etc., looking calm, professional, “respectable,” etc. (No, you don’t have to be a voluntaryist or anarchist to do this; just look at the script below and see if you agree with it.)
Patrick Smith (@disenthrall) has generously volunteered to put in the time and effort to organize, compile and edit the video, and made the following Facebook group for people to get up to speed on the details:

Below is the current version of the script. The different lines are different people speaking. A number of lines will be repeated by several people. If you want to be involved, let Patrick know right away, preferably by joining the Facebook group at the link above.
(P.S. Yes, this project is ONLY about owners of AR-15s in particular, since that is what the U.S. ruling class is currently demonizing and talking about "banning.")
“I’m a [profession]” (a bunch of people in a row)
“…[and] I own an AR-15.” (a bunch in a row)
“I’ve never pointed it at anyone, or threatened anyone with it.”
“I’ve never endangered anyone with it.”
“I’ve never been irresponsible with it.”
“I am a peaceful person.” (a bunch)
“Now, If you’re one of the people who wants these banned, I just want to know…”
“…I just want to know…” (a bunch)
“What do you personally advocate be done to me personally, if I don’t hand mine over if and when armed agents of the state tell me to?”
“Do you want them kicking down my door?”
“Do you want them dragging me away?”
“Imprisoning me for years?”
“Shooting me?”
“Don’t hide behind euphemisms and vague rhetoric. Be honest and specific.”
“Do you want men with guns using violence against me…”
“…against me…” (a bunch)
“A peaceful person.”
“…if I refuse to be disarmed?” (a bunch)
“Don’t say that you’re against gun violence, and then advocate that men with guns use violence to disarm me.”
“…or me.” (a bunch)
“Being for ‘gun control’ doesn’t mean you are against gun violence, or against guns.”
“It means that you want government to remain heavily armed, while using the threat of violence, by way of men with guns, to disarm millions of people you know nothing about…”
“…including people like me, who have never used a gun to threaten or harm anyone.”
“And that doesn’t make you tolerant.”
“It doesn’t mean you’re noble or virtuous.”
“It doesn’t make you compassionate or caring.”
“It doesn’t mean that you care more about children than I do.”
“It only means that you want government to have more power, and everyone else to have less.”
“And that is not the way to make the world safer.”
