Abraham, I am going to try to keep this response relevant to this thread.

Nearly everything on TV is produced to promote an agenda. Part of that agenda is to earn money by putting eyeballs in front of TV sets. One quick, easy way of accomplishing that is exploiting stereotypes and prejudices, because many people feel comfortable having their prejudices reinforced.

Often the agenda includes promoting political or social points of view that are not openly stated. Even shows that pretend to be objective and "balanced" generally are not. That's why I quit watching shows like "Sixty Minutes" years ago.

I don't know what this "Lock n Load" series is trying to do. I probably will never see it.

If this show promotes firearms safety, the fun and challenge of the shooting sports, the role of hunting in wildlife conservation, the importance of self defense, and the role of the right to keep and bear arms in American history, I owe you lunch.

Gee, Abraham, don't pull your punches.

There may well be factual TV shows that are not complete garbage, but everything that they have to say is already in print.

I have a simple formula: If it's on TV, it's probably garbage. If the term reality is associated with it, it's garbage.

That said, some of the conversations that I have overheard at the range or in gun stores make me cringe, and I would hate to see them circulated in public.
