Another Star on Sons O' Guns

[Ping]

I did record the Son's of Guns due to Jerry Miculak being on there. But I have to admit, I think Son's of Guns blows!!! I tried to watch a few episodes a couple of weeks ago.

Let's build something cool.
Trial and Error.
Let's present it and there is a problem. Drama
Oh gee, it works once again.
Boring.

They do create some really neat firearms and are very talented. Just cut the BS drama.

Just my two bits guys and gals.

It's the only gun show I can see on basic cable so I watch it. It's not bad but not great either.

I can enjoy the show for what it is, another Discovery moneymaker.  Some of it is enjoyable but I'd wish they put more emphasis on what it takes to do the smithing than other stuff.

I suspect the reason they don't are twofold.  First, if there are liability issues.  If somebody figures out how to make something full-auto by watching the show, they stand a VERY good chance of having one of those anal exams the BATFE is known for.  And if somebody tries to duplicate something they see and it fails causing injury, they'll get sued from here to the end of time.

Second, if you came up with a cool product that you could sell to make money, would YOU disclose how you did it on national TV?

I've had about enough of the Tuttle boys though.  Do you really think Mikey rode that scooter all the way from Orange County, NY? I don't think so....trailer all of them southwest, park the trailer down the block and scoot on in like Dennis and Peter from Easy Rider....

I seriously doubt that Junior has ever ridden a bike more than about 30 miles at any one time in his life.  Senior, yeah. Junior, no.  That being said, I DO approve of Junior's choice in wives.  Still trying to figure out why she married such a narcissistic little prima donna, however.

Good point....

It also isn't good TV to show all the work that really goes into building a weapon, or any of the other projects on similar shows.  Hours and hours of grinding and fitting isn't that exciting to the average TV viewer.  They wouldn't understand the technical aspects of it anyway.  That's why all the drama, it's good TV.

10-4.  There used to be something called GunTech on the Outdoor Channel that went into light detail...gone now.

How many here have used the uTube libraries which do show detail on gun mechanics.  A few hard core I would think and not many more I suspect.

I think it is good that this show has widespread appeal and will either mainstream people into the gunculture or make others "desensitized" to the BS that comes from ilk like Handgun Inc, Liberals, etc.

You know, a lot of people do not or did not want to bring up gun issues to the masses so that they could remain "hidden" to escape scrutiny and that was going to save whatever...hunting, machine guns, supressors, mags with more than 10 rounds, etc.  So, we let the antis set the agenda and they did well for a while.  I know hiding is the wrong way to go so I say more power to Sons Of Guns and anything else that mainstreams the gun culture.

C'mon, if all someone who does not know guns comes from MSLSD, CBS, The Democratic Party, RINO Republicans, Handgun, Inc. or even "Wise Latino Women" how will they know what is true and a what is a lie?  A lot of people, some hunters included, still think if you shoot someone in the pinkey with a 45 that it's either going to throw them aback 15 feet spinning their corpse like a top or rip their arm off and kill them instantly that way.  Any show that has guns and gun accessories in a positive light is a good show.  I still have people authoritatively tell me supressors are as illegal as hell even though I show them the paperwork on mine....bad information learned young and reinforced by other uninformed peers is hard to break.  Better to have good information out there, especially from someone that lives in Watson, La., in the free state of Livingston Parish.

Can't wait to see Top Gun.  I know one of the contestants because I've seen him on the promos but....he won't say a dang thing about it and will not even admit he was on it.  You talk to him and he doesn't even know what Top Gun is....I suppose he has some paperwork binding him....  I'll be pulling for Chris Collines even though it's all ready over I'm sure...

Top Shot.  Can't wait for the new season.

The ones that absolutely drive me up the wall are those pin head Fudd's that insist there is a fundamental difference between this;

They are also the ones who make up to many of the other gun forums, along with their alter ego's the mall ninjas.
