I think the point of the show was to show that there's a lot of guys right in the middle of the fight. A bunch of guys like guns but are ok with background checks and bans on certain guns.
I've seen this show several times - it was first aired a couple of months ago. I THOUGHT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
The PRIMARY purpose of the show was to condition the sheeple to accept the coming Obamaban - new legislation the requires some kind of mental health evaluation to be able to buy a gun or perhaps required of all gun owners to own the guns they already have. Some kind of National Gun Ownership ID Card.
Did you notice how many times they referred to how easily one can buy a gun without a mental health evaluation, even with the current background system? The host was aghast that you could simply walk into a gun store and buy a gun in just 5 minutes without there being any way to know if you are mentally-ill or not.
They implied that mental illness constitutes the biggest part of the gun-violence problem.
They even interviewed a gun show attendee who stated that there should be a mental health evaluation before being allowed to purchase a gun.
That is the big debate going on right now.
Check out this site which has a poll showing that 78% of the respondents answered YES to the question, "Should gun buyers be required to pass mental health tests?"

The proposed mental health background check/evaluation is a slippery slope for a variety of reasons - not the least of which is the fact that psychiatry is a complete pseudo-science.
And just who do you all think will be doing these exams? How about a government psychiatrist? Do you really want to trust your gun rights to some sick government shrink??? Not me.
I wrote about the black art of psychiatry and how it will be used to take away the gun rights of literally tens of millions of Americans in my thread at:
