National Geographic Aims and Misses

National Geographic Channel ran a show last night entitled, "Gun In America." According to the program, there are millions of misguided gun owners across the nation. Why? Because your guns are supposedly more likely to harm you than to help you in an emergency.
Besides, National Geographic has amply demonstrated why it's preferable that only governments be armed.

UPDATE: Stupid line of the year award...

Nat Geo used to be cool. I remember my treasured 1967 issue that celebrated the 20th anniversary of the USAF.

Now it's gotten so political that you can't read an article on... well... anything without reading how white male capitalists are destroying the universe.

Eff 'em and feed 'em fish heads.

I emailed them to complain and my dad is cancelling his subscription. Hit them where it hurts.

I was overwhelmed by the multitude of stupid narrative during that show. Here's a snippet I extracted from my recording.

Of the many, many other stupid things, when talking about castle law/doctrine they had the nerve to say: "You can shoot to kill someone on your property even if they are unarmed or retreating." !

They also had a cop equating criminal use of a gun to exercising your 2nd Amendment rights.

I could go on and on. In short it was horribly biased.
