NBC Cancels ALL Gun Related Programming
The Truth About Guns ^ | 12/17/12 | Nick Leghorn

Posted on 12/17/2012 8:12:55 PM PST by Mozilla

3-Gun Nation is a show that follows the top competitors in the United States as they make their way towards the 3-Gun national championship in Las Vegas, NV. It wasn’t a particularly interesting or exciting show, but it was a firearms related sports show that was picked up by NBC...

Apparently, following the shooting in Connecticut, NBC sports has decided to put an “indefinite moratorium” on shooting related shows.

Are they going to eliminate all programs with guns in them? Dramas and movies? Or is showing people shooting at targets bad but showing people shooting at people in their programs is acceptable. They ruined what once was OLN then Versus. At one time it had nothing but hunting shows.

LOL! I laugh upon their shirts!

Who cares what sort of statement these irrelevant people make?

The United States Constitution has second Ammendment that a mere TV show can not change.

Mob rule does not trump the Constitution. They can blankety-blank their blankety-blanks.

Oh there will still be guns on NBC. Every cop drama will still show gun owners as the bad guy, and all guns were bought with the “gun show loophole” or over the internet

All that this will do is have a run on guns. Tomorrow we’re going to our local Walmart to see if they still have that Ruger Ranch Mini-14. Be a nice addition to the M1 carbine and the .45 carbine we have.

Well, if the owners of 300+ million guns can’t make their case with their wallets and their representatives, they might as well collectively eat their guns.

Major overreaction. The show wasn’t even about crime or anybody doing harm to another person or graphic like the movies The Basketball Diaries or Pulp Fiction, for example.

Well, then maybe all Comcast subscribers should rethink their options.

And when it comes to coverage of these tragedies, it is 24/7. Then they act like a bunch of collective ghouls.

Can NBC cancel “The New Normal” because people don’t need to see homos raising children..and also because that show is utter crap..which basically describes the majority of NBC programming to begin with

Agreed. Law and Order will still be on the air making gun owning,christian,right-wing folks the bad guy on every episode. I have a L&O fan in the house and have to leave the room when they watch re-runs on USA or TNT....the show makes me want to puke.

Look at the Biathlon. It was a sport that showed rifles in a good light.

The US simply refuses to play it.

Screw em. We have youtube now.

My wife loves all of the Law & Order shows, so we watch a lot of them. Ever notice that there is NEVER a black or Hispanic criminal? How is that possible?

yes, and I believe there is a Dirty Harry moviethon coming up..wonder what they will do then.

Sometimes these idiots just don’t think.

While back California was going to ban all cell phones, two way radios, CB’s etc because they were distracting and someone suggested they would also have to require police and fire to pull over to take a call and use the computer.

That bill died on the vine....
