Discovery Channel
I'm being troubled by some of the shows on digital channels which are beamed world wide. The latest is American Guns which is a reality television series . The series centers on the Wyatt Family at Gunsmoke Guns, located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA; which specialize in gun manufacture, trade, customization, and instruction. They will make you any type of gun. Sniper rifles, automatic guns even cannons. They let there teenage daughter test fire the guns.
This show might be good fun and interesting to watch but it's not suitable for every society. It would be illegal to own or use these weapons in Ireland. It makes gun owning respectable and normal.
In one episode he travels to a mans home which had rooms full of his kills from hunting. Mounted on the wall were every type of animal you could think of. He wanted to sell guns to go back to Africa and hunt. On the wall was a Rhinos head with horn. Surely this is illegal in America.
Do the directors of the Dicovery Channel ever watch these shows and think of the damage these shows could be doing to other societies they beam their shows to. Discovery also is a leading provider of educational products and services to schools. Is this the right type of show to be associated with education.
