Gun Control advocate, moves in with a pro-gun family for 30 days "FULL VIDEO LINK HERE"
Very interesting program, also one that tried very much to be fair to both sides of the issue. Their is things in this video, that can teach BOTH SIDES of the argument, about each others point of view.

My main problem with it is I just wish they had found a "pro gun" person that had a mowed yard, and his home at a higher stage of completion. But otherwise, he and his son, is a decent representation of many pro-gun folk.

So get you a few minutes of free time, a cold drink of your choice, and some popcorn, and enjoy the show!

1. I watched it a while back
when someone posted a link here. Overall a fair analysis, my only objection being at the beginning the number of "gun deaths" sited included suicide numbers without any disclosure of that fact.

2. I think it was good

I also think if you had a "pro gun" person who was less "redneck" suck as the gun shop owner as the main pro-gun person, it would have been seen as atypical, even when it's not.

3. Stereotypes are what they are, but not a bad show -- compared to MSM (nt)
