Boston Legal episode about "guns"...

Ok, even if you're not a fan or regular viewer of the show I just have to say it was a good show. It aired last night but you can view it on ABC's website. I am sure there were some flaws in it but it was quite amusing and obviously the writers are not antis in the least. (knew this before though as one of the main characters is always running around sporting guns...he's a little too "free" with them though which saddens me) Just wanted to mention it....it's worth the time to watch IMO if anyone is looking for something to do...check it out.

I saw it. Well, the first 5 minutes or so.

Do you mean the one where Shatner's character popped the mugger in the knee and both feet?

Yeah, I don't think I'd call that "pro-gun writing".
More like, "See, those gun people ARE nuts!"
(This was emphasized even more when the police came to arrest him for unlicensed carry, and he/they remover a half dozen handguns from his person.)

But then, I don't watch regularly, so maybe I don't have a handle on how they write the show.

Well...you missed the closing argument...because he was charged with carrying without his concealed carry license....guy whipped out a copy of the bill of rights and crossed out the beginning and circled the part about how the right to bear arms shall not be infringed upon. He went off about how they just want to apply this and that to other stuff but when it comes to guns igore it or pretend it doesn't exist etc.
