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

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.

Those were some of my favorite shows! Figures though, just one thing to go in a long line of freedoms and rights that will be going as well if nothing is done
