With the few that I have seen, they try and make it like the rest of the industry is stupid and everything they make is the best thing since sliced bread.

One of the first shows I saw was them mounting a grenade launcher to an AR rifle... I had to explain to my girlfriend that, that was an old concept and it had already been done before. But for everybody else watching, and not knowing any different, they probably thought it was cool.

So reality T.V. my :censored: :censored: ... it's staged T.V. just like that other piece out in Colorado too!

And we wonder why they want to ban AR's. Tell the folks at Sandy Hook to be sure and watch that episode and suddenly you have a bunch of crying mothers and fathers standing behind Obama now talking about kids being blown up by assault weapons.

This type of stuff does no one on either side any good. Then the latest episode of them with a tank blowing up buildings and cars...then the argument, what IF somebody gets the tank and drives it to some elementary school and starts popping rounds. Then the police join in that they don't have the firepower to defend against this and the beat goes on and on till we lose even our water pistols.

Sure glad ArmaLite is not a sponsor....

My personal favorite episode was the one where the build the M2HB. I sat through it all with an OMG they are so lost, they need me, OH crap this is the episode where someone gets hurt.

Grain of salt and all that, It is TV after all.

be honest guilty pleasure and all that, there is some of that in the reason my son and I watch it.
Another classic was the time they basically made a pintle mount to put two M16' s side by side on a small boat, and had an overweight guy in an old camo bush hat portraying him as investigating it's purchase for Special Operations groups of the US military. Don Knotts would have been more believeable.

Here is the problem...a LOT of folks do believe it and and anti gun crowd sucks it up like bass hittin minows. They see it (the show) as all of us gun owners, bunch of rednecks spending more money on guns than at the dentist office
