Discovery hit ‘American Guns’ canceled as Hollywood wrestles with links to gun violence

[John Hwang]

LOS ANGELES – Discovery Channel’s popular reality show about a family of gun makers, “American Guns," came under intense scrutiny in the wake of Friday’s mass shooting at a Connecticut grade school, with people flooding the show’s Facebook page calling for its cancelation.

“I know you all have to make money but would Discovery Channel PLEASE consider ceasing to broadcast the show in the U.K.? Sadly your program makes buying/owning guns seem fun, glamorous, even normal,” wrote one. Another tweeted, “Dear Discovery Channel: it’s not appropriate showing the program American Guns now!” Another weighed in: “With Discovery shows like 'Sons of Guns', 'American Guns', 'Ted Nugent's Gun Country' etc it's not surprising how guns r seen as acceptable.”

Another unnecessary knee jerk reaction...maybe all shows that feature someone with a mental disorder or mental health issues should be cancelled as well, since in reality, that is where the problem lies. (*NOTE: Not saying that everyone with a mental disability or mental health issue is bad or the problem, but this is where more of the attention should be spent.)

Nothing we say will make difference. The liberals have an agenda. That agenda will be met at any cost.

In the mean time, they've done nothing about two new movies which are due out soon, that some reviewer's claimed were the most violent in recent memory. Django, and another with Sean Penn, something about gangsters. These two faced buttwipes aren't going to censol possible hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues. When reporters tried to discuss these discrepancies, they got cold shoulders and doors shut in their face.
