Fact is right now most murders in the US are not by guns.

They use plenty of them, but also whatever's at hand. In fact, after two and a half seasons, guns only account for slightly more than half of the show's violence. Characters have killed zombies with a car door, an internet cable, a sword and a chair leg, not to mention the crossbow preferred by the show's most popular character. What's to learn from all this? A clear and present need for self-defense justifies violence, and you can use just about anything to kill a zombie.

Actually, the show is clear that a gun is a last resort because the noise attracts zombies. Carl has a homemade silencer on his.

No matter what a viewer’s politics are, this show certainly reinforces the desire to be well armed and prepared. I don’t know anyone who would watch this show and think, “Gee, I don’t want to have a gun if zombies rise or something much more likely, social breakdown, were to happen.”

A zombie apocalypse is the exact opposite of a pro gun-control message ;P

As much as I enjoy the show, I could never understand why no one would don body armor. If you’re out of ammo they can’t bite thruogh it.

They use clubs, swords and knives because they are short on ammo. Evidently Obama got his way before the Apocalypse hit town.

The articles is a mess. It jumps all over the place.

The title says its all about “gun control”...but the article does not make it clear that WD depicts that as a good thing or a bad thing.

I think the purpose of the article is to allow author Alan Yuhas to meet a deadline, even though he stayed up to watch television.

“The Walking Dead” is a metaphor for Ubama’s economy.

they are trying to conserve ammo... in case you know the ammo supply starts drying up due to some Evil government trying to buy up all the production.....oh wait!

This is why I love this show because it is so 2nd Amendment for self defense. However the show does show what happens to abuse of power like the governor.

The zombies represents society when it falls and the rules of law are out.

Maybe I maybe wrong here but the Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, and even Revolution TV show is a metaphor of fighting back Tyranny from those that wish to oppress.

Also what is cool, looks like CROSSBOWS are making a comeback because not just Darryl (TWD) but folks in Revolution are using them.
