Garbage, complete garbage.
It isn't so much that there wasn't anything factual or redeeming about the program, it is the way things are presented that drove me nuts.
Most of the items, guns, and facts were for the most part truthful, but with the jaundiced view that the media always takes in regards to guns.
For instance:
1. When Al is shooting guns found on the street. He's firing a full auto Thompson and can anyone tell me the last time that particular type of gun was used on the streets to commit crime? Probably Bonnie and Clyde don't you think?
2. Al's limp wristed attempt at holding the Glock 9mm was hilarious. What a pansie. Did you notice how the close up of the camera was of the gun in slow motion and then Al talking about how powerful the gun is to hold? Ridiculous. I would love to have seen his soft hands holding a .454 Casull or a .500 S&W.
3. When they present the .50 cal, they actually equate the purchase of it to a .22 long rifle. Saying there is no difference. Right, other than several thousand dollars and about $10 per bullet.
4. At the end when they are discussing the ATF's bullet database and how they swiftly, with no explanation, show the NRA, while explaining how the amendment (Tiahart, which is not mentioned by name), keeps them from getting more guns off the street. Total misrepresentation of what that amendment does, as well as not giving even 5 seconds as to the protections it provides, or those that support it.
5. They spend 2 segments talking about the problem in New Orleans and the gangs, drugs, and guns. When they do the BIG HUGE bust, they recover exactly 2 guns. Lame and they play up the drug part. Nice coverage.
There were a few more items, but I'd have to watch that crap again.
Overall, it is what I expected from an outfit like MSNBC. When it comes to guns, most of the media is just as bad, if not worse.
