Discovery Channel is Anti-2nd Amendment and Anti-South

In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, the Discovery Channel has caved to pressure from the anti-gun elements of our society and has cancelled among others, the popular program “Sons of Guns” of which I was/am an avid fan. Leading the charge is of course the New York Times, the pompous Yankee daily that demonizes anything southern and anything freedom related. 

Although the article was rather ambiguous about the status of the show, it’s reasonable to assume based on the cancellation of other “gun shows” that the Baton Rouge based, Red Jacket Firearms will no longer be the topic of a popular reality show on the network. The status of the show is not ratings related.

Another recent article stated:

Complaints about the show centered around the fact that it made “buying/owning guns seem fun, glamorous, even normal,” and that it was “inappropriate” to broadcast the program in the aftermath of Friday’s events. Given the fact that almost half of Americans own guns, one wonders how owning guns in America can be described as anything other than “normal”.

You see owning guns is only “normal” for those crazies and southerners right? Any other normal person living in New England the Upper Midwest or the West Coast, would have no need for guns. Those sophisticated societies are virtually free of gun crime right? After all protecting yourself is nuts, leave the protection to the government, they are doing a great job.
