The latest episode of Hawaii Five-0, “Ke Ku ‘Ana,” is full of embarrassing falsehoods and other anti-gun propaganda.
Kyle Kane is a deranged father who blames gun culture for the mass shooting perpetrated by his son, so he holds a room full of hostages at gunpoint to send a message. Left unstated: Kyle’s son obtained his firearm through a straw purchase, a process that is already illegal and carries a sentence of up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the purchase alone even if the illegally purchased firearm were never used in another crime.

I have been a fan of this show since it first appeared; I've believed the producers did a great job keeping the original theme and basic "traditions" of the original Jack Lord version.
BTW, Jack Lord, the original McGarrett, was a adamant antigun person.
IMHO, this episode was an utter mess of conflicting ideologies and sympathies. The antigun personality, the distraught father, was hardly sympathetic, IMHO. You cannot attach rational thought, therefor a reasonable ideology, to such a person.
Danny's mischaracterization of the 2A was vile, as he was in no way distraught. He was a talking head for the antigun movement, in a state with very severe gun laws.
Shame on the producers!!!!!!

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
