Tonight, while flipping through the channels, I happenned upon a documentary titled "Automatic Kalishnikov".
It will be aired again on Friday, 23rd 2:00pm eastern on the Sundance Channel.
It showed 4 different aspects of the AK-47.
First was of the life of Mikhail Kalishnikov.
Second was of the AK-47's role as a small arm, usually as a weapon of war.
Third was the technical, mechanical, and ballistic aspects.
And lastly, the part that totally screwed up an otherwise halfway decent docu, was the directors obvious lean/rant about how the AK-47 ( and military style "assault weapons") are nothing but killing machines. (actually, it seemed that they were trying to push the idea that guns "MAKE" people want to do bad things) They did this through conversations with police, medical examiners, and criminals/thugs/gangstas.
Of course, what would an anti docu be without the infamous West Hollywood bank shootout.
It was truly disgusting when, at the end, they showed a clip from a full auto shoot-em-up, a-la Knob Creek. They obviously edited it so the only people shown were either: Hoosiers, tactical wanna-be's, typical old stogie-smoking-pot-bellied lard ass, typical back-woods hick, and of course - the children dressed in full fatigues, even one wearing a flak-jacket.
Totaly made it look like the only persons that would possibly want a military style weapon are quite questionable to the typical liberal that would be watching such a channel as Sundance.
And after the credits was a little vignette with some UN "the world would be a better place without guns" figure spouting the usual U.N drivel.
Did anyone else happen the catch this? If so, what are your thoughts?
