Reply #12: Not reality shows, but.... [View All]

[David West]

They aren't reality shows but CBS' Jericho and FOX's Firefly were both very pro-gun. Both were also very short-lived and libertarian... I'm kind of sensing a trend.

Jericho in particular was VERY overtly pro-gun. It was a post-apocalyptic drama set after a nuclear attack took out 20 something American cities, and in it the titular town of Jericho had to defend themselves from multiple attacks by a rogue Blackwater wannabe, criminal gangs, and a neighboring town invading them for resources. Virtually everyone in the small town was armed, and when it came time for them to go to war to defend themselves the most well-prpared survivalist character started passing out dozens of AR-15s and M14s that he had stockpiled in a storage unit. In the final episode the mayor of Jericho attended a constitutional convention for the new nation that was being formed and he lamented the loss of the second amendment. Heck they even fly the Gadsden flag prominently throughout the series.

So yeah, there are at least some pro-gun TV series out there, and not only that but both of those shows are excellent. John Stossel also did a couple of good pro-gun reports on 20/20 when he worked for ABC.
