This might actually be worth watching. No matter what one's views are, expect them to be challenged.

Thanks for posting that. It wasn't what I expected. I came here expecting a reality show about taking "dangerous" firearms and destroying them with fire, saws, etc.

What I found was very informative. Appreciated the non-biased viewpoint of things, especially the point about Ronald.

Thanks or sharing this. Is there a full episode on TV? The video in the link was only 3 minutes.

 It premieres tonight. I imagine it will be available on the website after that.

I have watched that show a couple of times. Not impressed with their research or presentation.

Pretty sure that it started out as a CollegeHumor show on YouTube meant for millennials.  I can certainly see it not appealing to adults.

I enjoyed last nights show, although it was a bit corny.

 I haven’t been able to find a way to watch the whole show as I don’t have any sort of TV subscription.

Thanks to a friend letting me use his cable tv login, I watched it this morning. It was very evenhanded and well done. As Links2k mentioned, it was a bit corny at times, but I think it touched upon the issues fairly and in a reasoned manner.

I was just happy to see them portray Reagan for who he really was.

Right?!?!?!

The deification of Regan drives me nuts to no end. From the Mulford Act to ‘86 FOPA he was not good for gunowners.

There is a longer 6 minute version on Youtube now. I'm not sure if this is the full version or not.

 

[Chucktshoes]

Full show is a half hour televised and including commercials.

Gotcha. So they just keep releasing pieces it sounds like. I got a bit annoyed at a few of their comments but I agree with their main argument that gun control is going to unfairly target minorities. Colion spoke about this during his interview with Killer Mike.

You should find a way to watch the entire episode.  Its not just about gun control but also about the interpretation of the second amendment and how attitudes of guns in general have changed through recent history.   It's as unbiased a look at firearms as I've ever seen.  Adam Winkler's appearance was a nice touch.
