We must be watching different versions of the show. No where in it have I seen guns are bad bad bad. Throughout the show guns are a tool. Some characters don’t like them, but that’s reality, some people don’t like guns. But even those characters accept that indeed they are a tool. I think you WANT there to be an anti-gun message, so you insert it, thus giving you something to complain about. But in reality there is quite simply no anti-gun message in the shows.

It takes place in the city so its only natural that some don’t like guns in the show. Nothing wildly overt.

On the Walking Dead they generally don’t use guns for practical reasons. The noise attracts zombies and ammo is limited.

The makers of Z Nation said screw it and use everything from handguns to rocket launchers and grenades.

The Walking Dead actually had gun control as a major THEME for the entire, I believe, second season, whenever they were all holed up at the farmhouse. All the guns were kept locked away, and it was a constant battle episode after episode about whether people should have access to them. I know people’s memories are short, but damn. Or maybe you never actually watched the show?

Fear the Walking Dead has only had 4 episodes so far, but the dad, after seeing the dead walk and eat people already, sees his son being shown how to use a shotgun and says “Hey, you know how I feel about guns!”

The Hollywood propaganda machine was tailor-made for people like you - not only do you not recognize messages pumped into your brain, but you DEFEND the brainwasher, because for some reason, your own ego is bruised if a show you like is criticized. I assume the thinking is something like this: “This show can’t be bad - I like it, and if a show I like is bad, then I must be bad.”

Have you even been watching Fear the Walking Dead at all??????

Its asinine to still think guns are bad when the world actually falls apart. Even lib friends of Chuck Heston called him up and asked if they could borrow some guns from him when the la riots occurred.

The writing has been strained I see no pro gun message. In fact, at times I see a pro gun message and a disdain for characters who don't use them in the face of a new situation. Yes, it maybe OK to be against guns when the world was without zombies but if you stick to that thinking you will be eaten alive. That is the show's ultimate message ("the gun does not care what you think"). Change your thinking with as the situation changes.

The dad is called weak for not knowing this.
