Ah yes. Let's cancel the show with 'guns' in the title, but continue airing the one called Amish Mafia.
And if by 'public opinion' you mean '...hundreds of Facebook users', then yeah. It can. It's ridiculous, but it happens. Let's censor everything--quick!
Meh, it's people openly questioning the romance of the gun. Cervantes lives again.
And yet Discovery's cover photo on their Facebook page shows a 'mafia' guy holding some sort of sawed-off looking thing with a pistol grip.
Fail.
Still, the more reality shows cancelled, the better.Hadn't heard of the show myself, but... another knee-jerk reaction. Watch for more of that.

Quick, somebody get a picture of Honey Boo Boo with a gun.
I'd prefer they canceled Bamazon and Save the Rainforest.
American Guns was boring anyway.
If you have objections to Amish Mafia, raise it up.
What was it about? I'd never heard of it.
I have. Any show that depicts shooting out someone's windshield as a means of conflict resolution (under the guise of reality) is questionable. That happened on AM when someone didn't pay up on their debt in a timely fashion. Where's the outrage and news coverage there?
It doesn't get broadcasted here so I don't know what the show is. It would seem there are several shows that need to fit itself on the chopping block.
That show about the pawn shop in Las Vegas bugs me when they go shoot the old, strange weapons they get (out in the desert). I know you have to have special licenses and permits, but it still bugs me. They need to show that part, at very least.
Actually, they don't. They've made this point numerous times on the show: Federal law makes any gun manufactured prior to 1898 an "antique firearm", for which you don't need any special license. They won't accept any weapon of more recent vintage, because they are not gun dealers, and have no licenses for that.
The weapons they do purchase are generally very expensive collector pieces. No one is likely to use one of these for any form of criminal violence or even personal protection, both because of their value and because of their long-obsolete technology. You can go out and buy a Glock 9mm pistol or an AR-15 for much less money than the value of most of these collector guns, and it will be a hell of a lot more effective.

Next you'll tell me out far enough out in the desert, there's not even need for a permit to fire them.
In Vegas, "taking a ride to the desert" is usually code for "take me to where the hookers are."Next you'll tell me out far enough out in the desert, there's not even need for a permit to fire them. I'll be shocked and outraged! (I've never, ever even been to the desert ).
