“My wife and I have watched the first two episodes of the new semi-post-apocalyptic show Revolution. If you haven’t seen it, it takes place (for the most part) 15 years after all electrical power vanishes from the earth. The US somehow becomes governed by an aggressive militia who has made civilian ownership of firearms a crime punishable by death. Only the militia have the guns. This forces the “good guys” to use crossbows and the like, and to try to steal said guns to even the playing field. Thought it was interesting to see a prime time network show depicting what many in the gun community fear in a “breakdown of society” situation. Not sure what to make of it, but it seems hard to believe it won’t make most folks watching it feel that gun control is a bad thing when shit hits the fan and that civilians need guns to protect themselves from tyrants.”
