I'm gonna wait for "Worlds Gun, Rise of the AK-47!" That one should be good!

I watched the 2nd half of it last night, it wasn't completely horrible, but there was an obvious anti-gun bias.

I ran across this piece of shlock when I was channel surfing last night... I couldn't even make it to the halfway point before turning it off. The "host" of the show is a real piece of work - not bias at all :roll:

I actually broke down and watched it (bored I guess).

The beginning dramatizes how "powerful" and "lethal" the AR is.
Um, powerful? Not when compared to full power rifles.
Lethal? Well if it wasn't it wouldn't be very useful now would it?

During the interview bit with James Yeager, he asks him "Is an AR your choice as a self defense weapon?"
James says "There's one beside my bed."
"Why?"
The look on James face was like DUH, isn't it obvious? "To protect my family."

Overall, I'm sure they tried with gritting teeth to make a balanced program, but in the end the ignorant anti-gun agenda bled through by showcasing 2A and AR supporters as crazy extremists and demonizing the gun industry.
