Following the concerning surge in school shootings and mass shootings across the United States, pro skateboarder Richie Jackson shares his advocacy of gun rights in the thought-provoking film "Infringed: Gun Rights In America."

The documentary, directed by Lauren Southern, explores the contentious topic of gun rights and their role in American society.

Southern stated, "Gun rights have never been more under threat and never more necessary." Her documentary delves into the complex and divisive debate surrounding the Second Amendment and the regulations surrounding firearm ownership.

The film provides a platform for various voices from both sides of the gun control spectrum, aiming to foster a balanced and informed discussion.

In recent years, the United States has witnessed a series of tragic events, including school shootings, which have prompted increased calls for stricter gun control measures.

Advocates for stricter regulations argue that these incidents highlight the need for tighter control over firearm access, including universal background checks and bans on assault weapons.

On the other hand, advocates of gun rights assert that the Second Amendment is a fundamental right that ensures the protection of individual freedoms and the ability to defend oneself. They argue that restricting access to firearms infringes on personal liberties and does not necessarily lead to reduced violence.

Jackson's involvement in the film "Infringed: Gun Rights In America," has drawn attention due to his status as a professional skateboarder and unique perspective.

His participation in the documentary adds an unexpected element to the discussion, transcending the typical political sensitivity of this topic.

It’s been an incredible blessing getting to work on this film with @jondutoit @Timcast and the many other wonderful souls who have made INFRINGED possible.

Gun rights have never been more under threat, and never more necessary.
