The original show strayed into this territory sometimes, too. Back then, Jack Lord had a lot of creative control over the show, so it’s likely that the anti-gun content was his idea.
Have you ever seen ANYONE other than jack lord wear a long sleeve Hawaiian shirt? ;-)
Agreed. I can remember reading at the trap club that I shoot at an old issue of “American Rifleman” from the 1970s and in it was a report on Jack Lord apparently commenting in an interview that he favoured banning handguns.
