TV shows about guns coming back?

[Dreams of Steel]

Now that we have a pro-gun (at least not anti-gun) President on the way, do you think shows featuring gunsmiths and shooting sports will make a comeback? I know the history / controversy of Sons of Guns and American Guns, but I really miss them! Lords Of War was a favorite, and Tales of the Gun was fantastic. I just wonder how long it is before the media lightens up a bit and networks like the Discovery family of channels bring some pro-gun shows back into the lineup. Any thoughts?

Yeah......Don't.

It would be sorta like asking the Himmler Channel to start a series on Judaism.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Won't happen IMHO. Too many armchair gunsmiths out there will have anxiety issues & pick them apart....

 

[Connor Murphy]

The Himmler Channel? Man am I glad I don't have cable.

 

[cascadianliberty2012]

Yeah......Don't.

It would be sorta like asking the Himmler Channel to start a series on Judaism.

It's the Ice Road Truckers and Pawn Stars channel now!

It's the Ice Road Truckers and Pawn Stars channel now!

These are a waste of both time and money. I think that we could hold classes about applied mathematics/physics (for youth, about their own sports) and fascinate them with the real world all over again. For college students, applied ballistics (both internal and external) could gain a real following.

Apply things to daily living and you would be surprised at how fascinated they would become.

The new cable TV drama series SHOOTER had its first episode last night. It will be on every Tuesday night on the USA Cable channel. The series is loosely based on the movie by the same name, but with a number of twists to the characters and the plot.

It goes into great detail on the guns being used. Stars Ryan Phillippe as Marine sniper and Iraq war hero Bob Lee Swagger. He is a pretty good actor. Here is a photo of him with his 338 Lapua Magnum:



Here is a photo of him after being wounded, and cornered by the FBI:



You don't have to have cable TV to watch this new drama series. All of the episodes can be watched online on your PC, if you have a decent Internet connection:

The same money is still running the networks.
More, "Stumbling with the (worn out) Stars". and
back stabbing with "Survivors."
Personally, I've been watching old Samurai movies on You Tube.

Well, guys with DIRECT TV can watch the Outdoors channel.

Lots of excellent shooting and hunting shows! Wednesday is gun day throughout the day to the end of prime time!
These tend to be more guns/history than the shows mentioned above. Less frakn "soap opera" to them!

On DIRECT TV ch-606

Every Wednesday on the Outdoor channel is gun night... Gunny Time, Shooting USA, American Rifleman, NRA All Access, Gun Stories...

Pop some popcorn, grab a holiday ale, sit back relax and enjoy the gun programs...

 

[Sgt Nambu]

OOP'S!!! That's my bad! It is the Outdoors Channel!

Thanks for correcting me nammac!

 

[Capn Jack]

Gunny Time,

It may seem sacrilegious, but that guys voice drives me up a wall. Always screaming/shouting.
I think he has a hearing deficiency. I had enough of that screaming in your face cr$p years ago at MCRD

Other than that, I enjoy seeing some of the weapons.

Exec producer Marky Mark. I'll pass on his crap thankyou.

 

[SA Shooter]

Yup...the Outdoor Channel has a LOT of gun centric shows. I watch it a lot on Comcast, where it is also available as an HD channel, #722.

 

[Grimm]

What ever happened to Top Shot? I really liked that show.. Anymore you can't get anything but Swamp Donkeys and Catfish n' Crawdads on the Discovery Channel. I can feel myself getting dumber everytime I go to that channel.

 

[Dreams of Steel]

I watch a lot of The Smithsonian Channel, quite a few series on aircraft, which I love. Discovery has a few shows I enjoy, but I sure miss Wings. I'll be checking out Outdoor channel, looking forward to seeing some new stuff! I forgot to mention 3 Gun Nation on Maverick TV, Directv channel 214. It isn't in HD but I love watching people run the stages, and on a 70" set to fill the screen it's not so bad. They have a lot of boat and other kinds of racing that I don't see on FS1 and espn2.

 

[clearconscience]

Well two of the guns shows that were on had the main "stars" arrested in recent years.
Redjacket had the child rapist and a couple others from that show were arrested.

American guns "star" was arrested for ATF and IRS violations.

Exec producer Marky Mark. I'll pass on his crap thankyou.

The movie Shooter was total garbage. The book it was based on, however, is called Point of Impact and is fantastic. I've read it three times. The author, Stephen Hunter, is the movie critic for the Baltimore sun, and he is a genuine gun-guy. Can't recommend his books enough!

 

[Joe Link]

It could be my 'bubble', but I'm finding people in Portland to be a bit more receptive to shooting. They're still adamant that 'guns are bad', and some are still anti-gun (believe it or not), but even those folks are asking me to take them shooting. I'm taking all of this with a huge grain of salt, but there's no better way to convert someone than to take them shooting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the networks followed.

Edit: Almost forgot to mention, the NRA has a Roku TV channel which is fantastic. Those who don't have a Roku -- get one!
