Gun Television Programs, and why they are so bad.

[slide]

Really, thats just it. I really enjoy coming on this message board and asking questions, or debating certain things but ultimately this board asks one question that each of us attempts to answer: "What do you think is sufficient for self-defense?" One person might think its a .45 1911, another a glock, one anything in 9mm, one a large bore revolver, but ultimately its people testing to see if they think they choice is sufficient. A show like that sounds good for someone new to firearms and what not, but at a certain point everything becomes regurgitation.

Yeah, debating things which really have no answer which is the same as arguing what is the minimum caliber to shoot elk with. My late wife killed (one shot) a large elk with a 6 x 47 so if that were to be asked and I answer a 6 x 47, it'd create a huge storm. It's the same as here if someone asks if a 32 is a sufficient defense weapon.

So we all debate things without possible resoution.

As to the OP, I'd suppose since few of us have a real *reason* to buy another firearm (aside from wanting one) what would he produce if he produced the AR show? How to sight in - something which would get no watchership because you can find that out from ten thousand sources. So what will bring on watchers? Shows about new things so we can generate up some *reason* to buy what we're seeing on the TV.

I DVR every episode of American Rifleman and Guns and Ammo TV. After watching several in a row today, I just can't stand it any longer. They are essentially nothing but advertisements for the sponsors. They have no useful information whatsoever contained in them!

Why not have a show on home defense tactics? Or the technique differences amongst the different shotgun sports, an episode on long range precision shooting, or a show on reloading? My god, I could go on and on with ideas, but TEACH ME SOMETHING. If I see one more segment-turned-advertisement about a TC Icon or Kimber 1911 I will lose it!

Well, what's stopping you from making, producing, and airing your own show that contains the information you are looking for?
