Hey einstein. First thing they'll do is sell the gun and buy booze.

US Senate candidate proposes arming homeless people with shotguns

march 15 2018 A Michigan candidate for US Senate has proposed arming homeless people with pump-action shotguns in an effort to reduce crime.

Brian Ellison, who is running against Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow, says homeless people are “constantly victims of violent crime” and providing them with firearms would provide a deterrent.

Ellison, a Libertarian who is expected to be the party’s candidate in the November midterm election, said he had settled on pump-action shotguns for practicality purposes.

“Frankly I think the ideal weapon would be a pistol,” he told the Guardian, “but due to the licensing requirements in the state we’re going to have a hard enough time getting homeless people shotguns as it is.

“Getting them pistols is probably next to impossible. The pistols need to be registered, people have to have addresses.”

Carrying a concealed pistol is illegal without a permit, Ellison said, “whereas open-carrying a long gun is completely legal”.

Never heard of that movie but i just went to IMDB and they give it a decent rating of 6.1. Anyway most homeless will sell the gun within days.

Truth be told, I've never even seen it, but I heard of it from others, and it's a Canadian movie/

As these kind of movie go though, I find the premise kind of funny. Certainly a movie you don't take seriously.
