Last night’s episode involved a BB gun with no negative comments or innuendos towards firearms. It was pretty damn funny. Anyone catch it?
Also, there was an episode a couple of years back which featured a father-son bonding experience while deer hunting. It showed Eric and Red in a tree stand, each with scoped bolt-action rifles. Even the shots they fired seemed reasonably real (muzzle flash and recoil), not some cheesy SNL sound effect. If I remember right, Eric chose not to take a particular shot, but only because he was a wuss (see below for Eric’s redemption).
While they were eating the venison at the end of the show, someone complained about 'buckshot' in the meat. I’m thinking, “That’s stupid...here we go with the misleading firearms stuff...”, but one of the cast members commented that Eric shot the deer with a shotgun to put it out of it’s misery. Again, no 'guns are horrible' innuendos in that episode.
It’s pretty rare these days to have guns featured in a TV show simply because they’ve been in our culture for a long time. AND, the show has Laura Prepon!
