New show on Discovery! "SONS Of GUNS" saw a commercial

I watched both last night and I will agree-it was good to see Snaggletooth explain to the guy a bit of the NFA process and time involved. In retrospect I wonder how many of the guys we saw in the first couple episodes where it appeared they "cash and carried" NFA were dealers? I mean who else would buy 3 suppressed Saigas on the spot.
I did think it was pretty cool to watch the WWII vet strap up the flamethrower. At 89 you could tell he knew how to use it and I got a kick at how giddy he was after lighting her up.

Watching that Hero get to play with that Flamethrower was absolutely AWESOME

Just seeing a living MOH Recipient made my heart well up.
The Old Guy was pretty generous on that trigger and still had some moves in him.
I think it was great that they did that for him regardless of whatever selfish reasoning they might have had.

I will admit that I wasnt too impressed by the first 2 shows. But last night to see a MOH receipient get to use the same type of tool that earned him the medal was absolutely too cool. I give credit to the guy for not charging to make it work again. My 4 year old asked me what it was so I did a quick explanation. But when he asked about the Marines medal I told him that he got that for being a very brave man. That he did things to help his fellow fighting men stay safe. I like it when I get a chance to show my boy what real heros are/ not the crap thats shown on the tv.

I also liked the second show last night. what can I say .50 M2. [M2]

so everyone is happy now, u seen a guy turned away and some rules explained.
now were going to complain that they were trying to make a profit, come on guys.

how about someting cool they did, how many guns stores you been in where they offered to let you shoot a weapon you may or may not buy, its been 0 for me and i have been in more shops then i can remember in several diffrent states i have lived in. not one ever offered, best i have experienced was getting to shoot my own gun in their range while i waited for the waiting period to expire.

Its not fantastic but we got a show to watch each week thats about guns and the flame thower was kick ass.[Flame]
