The underlying message of the piece was the "devistating effect" of illegial arms trade Internationally. This piece of propoganda strategically combined images of handguns with traditional liberal language of death and destruction. Admiral Gene La Rocque (ret.) was the host and the narrator and senior producter was Ira Shorr. Guests in this "documentary" included Aaron Karp of Old Dominion University, Kenneth Timmerman author of _The Death Lobby: How the West Armed Iraq_, and Richard Mercier of U.S. Customs Service. After explaining how bad off the world was the topic turned to what to do about the perceived problem. Enter the United Nations with pictures and references to the U.N.'s second report "Register of Controlled Arms." The list of supporters include the Town Creek Foundation, et. al. Not to mention WHMM is a public station.
