American Guns

[mccandmatt]

I was maybe a bit premature in my initial judgment of American Guns. I judged it after only watching the first episode. Pretty decent show they seem to have real smiths unlike Redjacket which is one smith and the other the "Moron Clown Posse". I think the one thing I have to ask is the daughter, she's 17, can she even be selling firearms and carrying one on her hip in the store? Seems a little odd to me but I do not know the specifics of the law in a case like that. She's a cuttie but I dont know if I would allow my daughter to be running around in short shorts, showing off cleavage like that on or off national tv, but I guess to each their own just seems like they're using there underage daughter for sex appeal ratings seems little wrong, to me atleast.

Figured I would post just for conversation sake Happy New Years Eve all!

Wait for it.

Wouldn't be a reality gun show without boobs and tanktops, and I think the wife is out there even more than the daughter.
I look forward to seeing "reality shows" crash and burn. Nothing worse then non-actors trying to act.

Me too, but won't happen anytime soon. Butt-cheap to produce and perfectly suited for the vast and dim viewing audience that grew up appreciating Beavis and Butthead, Judge Judy and Jerry Springer.

Hehe.. heh. hehehe... FIRE...FIRE...FIRE!!! I am Cornholio!

I always found Beavis and Butthead to be highly intelliectual and thought provoking. Also, "This Sucks..." makes a good .wav file for my work puter.

Sometimes it's better than Sons of Guns. Most times they're both a reason to put my mind in neutral after work. At least on AG, they're working on guns real people might own, not Class III mutlimounts for WWII German machine guns. The 22/45 they painted recently for competition was kind of cool, and so was the Luger they bought (although I don't have a Rolex to trade for anything)...

And the women on AG are better looking than the swamp chick on SOG. Not by much, but a little, although you can see Mom on AG is going to have skin like a saddle and enormous fake knockers in about ten years; followed by her daughter in 30. Enjoy it while you can, I guess.

You are kidding right? This show has more misinformation than you can shake a stick at. It makes "Dog the Bounty Hunter" look like a real documentary.

The "real smiths" have to have Rich tell them how to operate a bottle of Hoppes #9 on every show.

Mad Dog Vachon could have given this crew acting lessons that would be an improvement.

...although you can see Mom on AG is going to have skin like a saddle and enormous fake knockers in about ten years...

She already has both. Ick.

Well, upgrades, then...

All one has to do is remember the immortal words of H.L. Mencken....

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

Remember all reality shows are scripted to draw viewers and get people talking.

Gold Rush, American guns, Hardcore Pawn etc.

If ratings drop, Producers will come up with some other gimmick.

Sad we pay to watch this stuff

Caught some reality gun show (think it was American Guns) the other day where the dude was wheeling and dealing for a bunch of guns that he was going to pay for with a satchel full of gold bars. Yeah, that's pretty much the way everybody does business. No added drama there.

[redaudi]

in my honest opinion, it the shows do SOME good in the aspect that they show that there are enough people interested in firearms to warrant a few new shows specifically about them... it COULD help to make firearms more available to the population. that's a big 'could' though.

granted that could also be a bad thing if the government decides that TOO many people are interested in guns :big brother:
not that i think that it would happen, but hey, i don't rule anything out anymore. i love being the devil's advocate, as irrational or far-fetched as my random outbursts of nonsense may be

More likely it will just serve as more gun-related entertainment than do anything one way or another.

She needs an upgrade. It's not worth the money, if you're not going to get the full package.
