I think I was pretty clear in stating my "prejudices" but just in case others missed it, what I wrote was:

I liked it BUT it was full of 'elitist' and 'anti-gun' stereotypes that are now further ingrained in the anti-gun minds of any anti-gunner who watched that episode. Try to take a look at this show from the anti-gun/elitist point of view |
I know people in the gun culture from doctors and business people to single women who clerk part time at retail stores and try to make ends meet, the reality is that gun owners are from a WIDE CROSS SECTION of our total culture. BUT, when looked at from an 'elitist' point of view, especially people like Pia on the show who come from areas where guns are virtually non-existent in legal ownership, then they don't know the wide cross section of gun owners that we all know. What they know is what they watched on this show, what the news media says in the mainstream media, and what they hear from politicians.
I say again, this show was not nearly as pro-gun as some would believe.
