I have heard a bunch of times: "If I did not have a gun on me I would have punched his lights out".Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236818078482978377.post-69658517575183398272011-09-29T20:43:08.929-05:002011-09-29T20:43:08.929-05:00Keads,

The feeling that gunnies are just like them, their parents, their brothers or sisters.Bob S.http://3boxesofbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236818078482978377.post-23852286463214725552011-09-29T19:05:59.318-05:002011-09-29T19:05:59.318-05:00@ Bob S.- I would guarantee you that there are NO ...@ Bob S.- I would guarantee you that there are NO Firearms in the "shoot house". I can see some of your points however. Yes, a gun owner did not lose their temper, but no guns in reality to be found there. <br /><br />I understand that the show is first and foremost about entertainment. That is why I will probably not make the first casting call.Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236818078482978377.post-57255139880660202642011-09-29T12:18:55.698-05:002011-09-29T12:18:55.698-05:00Belle,
I'll offer a different take.
hough w...Belle,<br /><br />I'll offer a different take. <br /><br /><i>hough what I really want to know is why Top Shot will allow a dickweed like Jake to remain on the show if he's constantly picking fights and then when he's on camera alone admitting that he's doing it on purpose, why they let him stay? </i><br /><br />I would not be surprised if they didn't tacitly -- if not actively-- encourage his behavior.<br /><br />It can be done easily by continuing to focus on the drama, by giving stage directions to the contestants, etc.<br /><br /><i>It's just wrong and if Top Shot doesn't do something about these types of situations, I think that they will lose their audience.</i><br /><br />I have to wonder how their primary audience is or who they are trying to get to the primary audience.<br /><br />It sure isn't the hard core "shooting is the only thing that matter" crowd because they don't have enough shooting for those folks.<br /><br />I think they are going for the Survivor/Big Brother crowd.<br /><br />And frankly I think that is a great thing.<br /><br />Look at the drama between Mike and Jake last night. We have a 'villain' who openly admits he tried to provoke a physical fight.<br /><br />In many reality shows, I'm sure he would have succeeded.<br /><br />Yet --- lo and behold what happens?<br />Certainly not what the antis, the "Blood in the streets, shoot outs over parking spaces, classroom discussions will be stifled" crowd would lead us to think.<br /><br />Mike controlled himself.<br /><br />That is a great thing for people to see. It puts a real face on gun owners and anger.<br /><br />Certainly each time people see something like that it will be harder for the antis to trot out their meme of gun owners are blood thirsty, right?Bob S.http://3boxesofbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236818078482978377.post-46438824305333778182011-09-28T14:49:23.140-05:002011-09-28T14:49:23.140-05:00Hell, I'm not great of a shooter, but I think ...Hell, I'm not great of a shooter, but I think I will apply for season 4! Less drama llama and more shooting would be my mantra!
