It's making firearms more mainstream. That's how it's good for the cause.

Same here! Don't tell my boss...Boy..you ain't kiddin! I'm doing the same!
The Harley-Davidson craze started long before Biker Build-Off and the rest of the "biker" shows on Discovery Channel, but your point is still valid. If anything, Sons of Guns, Top Shot, 3 Gun Nation, et al, are an acknowledgement by the media that there is money to be made in TV shows about guns. Without eyeballs, there are no ads, and without ads, there are no shows. We can talk about how good/bad these shows are for gun rights, but those shows are there to make money first and foremost. And judging by how similar shows are popping up all over the place, they do.I think this is an important point. Remember Harleys or tattoos before they became mainstream? All guys with tattoos riding Harleys were "dangerous bikers" in the minds of many people. Now they're very likely to be your accountant. The look and appearance of Harleys and guys in leather with/without tattoo have now been accepted by the general public. Sons of Guns, like the show or not, is helping get "Evil Black Rifles" accepted by the general public.
