No point in getting political when it will never be heard. Oh, I've heard the message, I just don't agree with punishing everybody for one person's actions. I'm 100% pro-Second Amendment and no one, whether liberal democrat or Green Martian, is gonna change that. Imagine if they tried to curb or eliminate freedom of speech because some idiot yelled "fire" in a crowded room. It's the same thing being done to the gun-owning American populace: imposing restrictions on everyone because of the actions of a few unhinged individuals. I watch these shows for the awesome characters and kick ass action, not to have the studio's politics shoved down my throat. The inclusion of a bump stock was egregious as the actual prop weapon used in the show was a M4 carbine, which is already select-fire and thus can't be bought like gum at any corner store, contrary to some claims. It's akin to making an argument about the acidity in Pepsi and using sulfuric acid to illustrate it.

I'll see how the rest of the season goes and if it keeps piling on the politics, I can always respond by choosing to watch something else. There's no shortage of entertainment to indulge in at 8 PM on Mondays. I doubt anyone here would miss me, anyway.
