Antigun propaganda Law & Order episode

Law and Order is one of the few TV shows I ever watch. But after tonight's episode I don't know if I will bother anymore.
The episode dealt with a citizen pursuing a murderer in a car chase, resulting in an accident that injured a half-dozen people in a restaurant and the death of the murderer, and subsequent death of the murderer's hostage in the car.
The murderer had shot and killed five people earlier during a hunting trip with an AR 15---you know, based on that true incident in the Midwest where that Southeast Asian guy killed several hunters. But the Asian killer did not have an assault rifle!-See where the theme of this L & O episode is going? So this citizen saw the murder, and pursued by car the killer all the way to NYC.
They made the citizen chasing the murderer a complete and unrealistic fool--- A guy that couldn't make the effort to call the police, fled from the scene of the accident because he was scared, yet he was still brave enough to pursue the murderer-In other words, the theme of this episode is "Don'try to be a hero, you could screw up and hurt more people. Leave it all to the authorities. We know what is best. Initiative and individualism is bad."
The whole tenor of this L&O episode was also subtly but distinctly anti-gun and anti-hunting. A comment was made by a character about the necessity and apparent unfairness of hunting deer. I told my wife that if that character had ever had a car accident because of deers from overpopulated herds run in front of their car, they wouldn't be so sympathetic for Bambi. The program lamented that "assault" weapons like the AR 15 (Which was described in the episode as semi auto, not FA!) can be owned by citizens. So yeah, semi auto weapons incite people to murder.
I'm really bummed, because this was one of the few shows on TV that had any intelligent plot. Guess they got a bunch of new ultra liberal writers.

I'm already amazed at CSI and how many times they resort to IBIS to solve crimes, and how often the IBIS system shows a hit. But life doesn't imitate art, and so far IBIS is a joke.
Too bad the show doesn't adhere to a little more truth in application, even though theoretically the science would be correct.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

Have you guys ever noticed in Lethal Weapon 2, when Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is about to announce when the commercial his daughter was supposed to be in (before he knew it was a rubber commercial) after having his arm twisted by Riggs (Mel Gibson), on a post board in the background are the words "Handgun Control", plain as day? Check it out!!

I once saw a "junkie" with a $1,200.00 handgun...holding up a gas station. The homes that were broken into on the show and their gun was always used to kill lots of people and that (of course) made the gun owner feel guilty for owning the horrible gun in the first place. It is never realistic...the gun is always at fault. Like if it weren't for the gun, that guy would be a saint. I guess they also believe spoons make you fat.

You can be quite correct, but I belive the correct term should be "Brain-Dirtying".
Just like real life. The courts are set up for the wealthy. Best justice money can buy.

I am also cutting my Conoco gas card into tiny bits and mailing it back to them....since they don't allow their employees to keep a gun (even in their car.)
Who else do you guys suggest I boycott? I'm tired of giving my "support" and money to idiots.
O.K. the show last week was the cherry on the top of why I will never watch that show again....and guess what guys....I'm a NEALSON'S RATING survey person!!! So, if they send me that little packet of log books and I go to the trouble of keeping up with every minute of programs that me and my family watch....it will not be Law and Order.

Good for you. Myself, wife, daughter, and daughter's boy friend cut up our Conoco/Phillips credit cards and sent them along with our reasons addressed to the board of directors of Conoco/Phillips and said if they ever got sensible on gun rights we would reopen our account.

The biggest one is car insurance. NEVER SIGN UP FOR PROGRESSIVE!!!!
GEICO once published an anti-gun statistic in one of their newsletters, so that is why they are on the NRA black list. But GEICO claims they take no stance either way.
I personally use AIG, which offers a SIGNIFICANT discount for NRA members.
