Director Kris Koenig has produced a movie titled, “Assaulted: Civil Rights under Fire” which approaches the current gun control debate from a historical and civil rights perspective. The film is narrated by rapper/actor Ice-T and features Nugent, Brady Campaign Rep. and UCLA Professor Adam Winkler. The movie is due in theaters in June.

FWIW; former NRA president & former president of SAG(screen actors guild), Charlton Heston trashed Ice-T for his early 1990s; Cop Killer rap song.
Ice-T played a drug cop in New Jack City then later played on Law & Order SVU.
He's also US Army veteran(combat engineers).
I don't think Ice-T is a bad person but I think there are much better voices for a pro gun doc or 2A supporter film.

Some of these 2A groups & shooting sports industry members need to research who they deal with or make deals with. Bad press or double standards are the last thing US gun owners need or want in 2013.

As the OP pointed out, we've already got a thread open on this, so let's keep discussion there.
