I've released my documentary film on the history of the right to arms, "In Search of the Second Amendment." It stars twelve professors of constitutional law, plus Steve Halbrook, David Kopel, Don Kates, and Clayton Cramer. You can order the DVD here. And here's the Wikipedia page on it.

Idea on promoting the 2nd amendment documentary

Posted by David Hardy · 5 April 2007 03:29 PM

The surge from the documentary's favorable reviews in The American Rifleman, America's First Freedom, and Gun Week seems to be wearing off. I'm open to ideas on how to further promote the DVD, if anybody has some. Just in case someone wonders "what documentary?" here's its webpage.

Get a fat guy in a baseball cap to flog it?

Get the vid incorporated in the NRA Eddy Eagle program.

RKM, how would you propose doing that?

Call me insane, but I just don't believe that elementary school kids are going to understand it or care. I mean, the documentary is good and all, but I don't think that was Dave's target audience.

Perhaps more importantly to the mission and success of Eddie Eagle, the program does not take a position on gun ownership. Even if the kids were old enough to understand the history of legal thought on individual ownership of arms, it would be counter to the element of the program that gets it so widely accepted in schools.

I actually met the Eddie Eagle artist a couple of months ago at a school fund raiser. He lives right here in my town. I had drinks with him previously but didn't know that he had done EE.

So is Eddie Eagle a beer man? Or does he like the hard stuff?

Just a little technical worm, sir: Your ad page says you did this in NTSC standard. That standard expires in less than three years. Anyone with an ATSC player will have to have an upconverter set to play it.

You need to remaster it in ATSC, or at least order some sort of possibility to buy an ATSC disc.

NTSC may be going away as a broadcast standard, but nobody's going to suddenly render obsolete the hundreds of millions of DVDs that already exist in NTSC format.

Posted by: Norman Yarvin at April 6, 2007 10:15 AM

Have you donated a copy to the Library of Congress?

Do DVDs have the equivalent of an IBSN?

Posted by: Nimrod45 at April 6, 2007 03:00 PM

Fat guy in a baseball cap, huh? I've BEEN promoting the DVD, thank you very much!

Posted by: Cam at April 6, 2007 06:06 PM

The Eddie Eagle artist, like me, will drink anything you put in front of him.
