I just got done watching it and I thought the same thing myself. Ecspecially when the guy showed the AK clone.

I understand your frustation, I think a lot of LE think like this. It's just the way it is - they don't help our cause very much. 600 rounds per minute would be pretty difficult in semi-auto.

the show sucks and I stopped watching after the first episode...
if they truly are anti-gunners then this would only reaffirm my belief that the show sucks. |

Now Now I wasnt meaning to turn this thing into another cop bashing thread, I was just agreeing with the guy that the way the is played out it is very anti-gun.
Please tell me if I miss understood your post rocers. Carter |

Now, I could understand if the guys on the team expressed some concern about being engaged by an AK type rifle, or any other military style, or hunting rifle for that matter. This show goes way beyond just addressing some of the issues, it hypes them up. They regularly show off the crappy collection of weapons that they find after taking down an objective. That's when they wax on and on about how uber deadly every one of those weapons is no matter if it's a rusted out old single shot .410, or a jacked up looking tech nine. It always sounds like they had their lines written for them by the Brady campaign. I have seen two episode now that have had AK-47 demonstrations. One of them showed off a real AKM with select fire capability, and then tried to explain how anyone could buy it.
The elitist attitude about gun ownership is palpable. |

The LE guys are not the ones producing the show. I'm sure they don't know how its going to come out until they see it on tv themselves. |

LOL! I spent a few minutes trying to decide for myself if that show is actually worse or not. It's a close one in my opinion. |

I'm sure they (and a lot of other SWAT teams/police agencies) are in a huge hurry to shut the show down and make it right after seeing how anti-gun they slant these shows........

I wouldn't personally blame the LEOs either. I'm sure they're given loaded questions and have their answers selectively chosen. The producer is to fault for any bias in the show. I know there are some anti cops, but I've met anti gun Military folks too. It's strange and hard to understand, but oh well. Most real street cops I've met are not anti gun. I did not mean for this post to be a cop bashing fest. I have no beef at all with the SWAT guys. The few SWAT guys I've met or trained with have been stand up people and very pro gun. |

AKs continue to be demonized at every turn. I really believe that they will be the next weapon to be banned in the US. All imports of weapons or parts will cease. Then they will go after anyone assembling them or manufacturing them.
The best advice? Buy as a many of the AKs as you want now. You will not be able to do this in the future. |

Most cops and military would have ZERO problems follwing an order to disarm you. They show just reflects something common.
Sure on a site like this most (except for a few) will be pro RKBA, but from the most cops I talked to, they would have NO problem with it. When I was in the Army, most guys said they would have NO problems with it. |

I haven't watched it, but (and I'm not going to yell DUPE) but I am going to say that I've heard about it before and it's pretty stupid. It's crazy how they can misrepresent the facts.

I had a really good friend join the Sherifs department. Before joining he was as gung ho about firearm ownership as I am. After the academy, he is almost anti now. I think they slam into your brain so much that guns are bad, guns kills you, and to be wary of everyone, that you start thinking that way. That your world would be better off without guns. |

No - its not the most anti gun...
The fact is these guys face down thugs with guns almost every day. So they are thinking about themselves and thier family - vs an honest citizens right to own guns. |

All they care about is themselves and their family. I've seen more than my share of them blatantly say on police forums around the internet they don't give a damn about anyone else outside the police department except family. One I remember vividly said: "We care about us, fuck everyone else" Very nice.

When I was in the Army, I remember when my very first battalion commander got up to address our unit after a battalion run, and give the weekend safety briefing before one of those four-day holiday weekends. After giving the standard warnings ("don't drink and drive", "wear a condom", etc.), he launched into a long, heartfelt, and bizarre anti-gun screed, in which he cast scorn on the 2nd Amendment, mocked people who owned guns for self-defense as "paranoid wannabes", and flatly stated that no one outside law enforcement or the military should be allowed to possess a handgun. This guy was a decorated long-time Infantry officer, who had spent much of his career in "elite" light infantry units such as the 82nd Airborne and 75th Ranger Regiment. So, yes, there are clearly anti-gun elitists both in law enforcement and the military. However, having served in both, I would submit that the majority of the rank-and-file of both institutions are pretty solidly pro-Second Amendment. |

i was wondering about that same damn thing!!! i watched one show cuz some guys here were creaming their calvin kleins over the show and thought those were the prettiest men i'd ever seen. i thought this might have been in the "reno 911" vein. especially when the big buff black twat member had the blonde mud shark whore ooohing and ahhhing all over him. i thought that was a real hollyweird touch. |
