A sickening hit piece.
As I said in the other thread, worst line of the night (so far) "if any of the guns are stolen they will end up in criminal hands.":banghead: Duh!!! If they are stolen they are by definition in criminal hands.
I think the proper question is, "What is National Geographic doing airing a program on guns?"
If they want to do a cultural program, they can go to another country, say Britain, and do a piece there. It used to be that when they did a cultural program on/in the US, they did it ona group of people, say the hillbillies in Appalachia. And then it was on their way of life. Not a single aspect of the culture of the entire country. But, its been a while since I watched NG.
I quit reading their mag when I got tired of hearing how everything is in danger of dying, being lost, etc. They had a recent one I bought in a moment of weakness.A spinmeister had invented the word "light-pollution" for too much man-made light glare in the night sky (whoever defines 'too much'). Light pollution?Give me a break.
