There was a long segment focusing on a Philadelphia police officer that was shot in the line of duty. There was also a segment on a Virginia housewife considering a handgun for self-defense. Showed a class III shoot in Nevada. The people at the shoot were shown to be average citizens, not camo clown nutjobs. There was not a lot of anti-gun hysteria shown. Kinda surprised me. The hardest part of the program was seeing the destruction of confiscated guns by the BATFE. I'm sure there were a few collector guns destroyed. Worth watching.

They throw in some "good" things about firearms but it was pretty thinly veiled anti-gun rhetoric. Its a fairly one sided anti-gun piece.

Most of the arguments are just the same thing you've heard before. It had one of the most bogus definitions I've ever heard of an assault weapon. I can't remember the exact quote but it was something along the lines of a gun that fires every time you pull the trigger. It was kind of neat seeing a couple of people they interviewed. One was a woman whose house had been broken into and she was looking at a gun for self protection. She learned that people at a gun show were pretty normal and that she had a knack for shooting. The other was a gentleman who had immigrated from Greece and therefore really appreciated the basic human right of gun ownership. I can’t say that you’ll see anything new.

I know you don't do politics on here so delete if you have to but I think that a program by those folks would be nothing but left wing propaganda.
