I’ve been told I live in a MAGA bubble. If I wasn’t brainwashed by FauxNews and actually cared about others, I would no longer be a Maggot.
The reality is that I can’t escape their noise and opinions. It is everywhere.
Ally and I noticed a while ago that every cop show on TV talks about “legally registered guns.” Every single one of them. NCIS was horrible about this. Law and Order had the excuse that it was taking place in NYC where all “legal” guns are supposed to be registered.
Though an egregious one popped up recently. The detectives of L&O were investigating a “sniper.” They tracked the gun back to the FFL that sold the gun.
They then accused the FFL of attempting to hide the identity of the purchaser because the signature on the 4473 was illegible. They made a big deal about it.
Every 4473 that I’ve ever filled out requires me to fill out the form with my printed information and the FFL then copies my government ID information (DL) onto the form. If the left didn’t lie they wouldn’t have anything to say.
The Question
What is a trope or common “everybody knows” that you see in movies or shows that is pure left-wing talking points?
pretty much EVERYTHING on tv is liberal bullshiite.. thats why they call it “programming”… YOU are being programmed..
I haven’t watched tv in decades.
“he used a semiautomatic with high capacity magazines “… 🤢🤮
I like how the guy looks at the empty shell casing and says “hes using a Glock”… or the Die Hard at the airport-“those are Glock 7s. a porcelain gun! it doesn’t show up on airport metal detectors! “… barf..
“We’re doing something illegal but we’re the good guys, so it’s okay.”

That’s another one that’s everywhere on cop shows, and NCIS was particularly bad about it – illegal searches, violation of various constitutional rights, etc., with zero admission of it being wrong, let alone suffering from any consequences. The NCIS teams should have been in jail after half of their standard things per episode. Gibbs in particular.
.
At least Harold and John in Person of Interest (we’re rewatching now) freely admit that they were acting illegally … and they make an attempt at least to insulate their police friends from the sources and methods they use. (Usually unsuccessfully … but at least they try…)
.
Then there’s the whole “90-lb slip of a girl can take down a 250-lb MMA fighter one-on-one bare-handed” and usually without breaking a nail or a sweat. The requisite suspension-of-disbelief magnitude got to be just to much for me in NCIS-LA with the Muslim lady agent.

Okay, last one. Glocks are super high end firearms. Another one from NCISland (LA maybe?), ladyboss shows up with two bog-standard Glocks in a beautiful velvet-lined hardwood presentation case for a shooting session somewhere. (Maybe a charity event?) I mean, come on. Glocks are fine guns, but they are mass-produced. You’re free to like them and customize yours out the wazoo … but parking a Ford Escort in Jay Leno’s garage doesn’t change it into something special. (Unless it was one of the rally versions to begin with. But I digress.)
One is referring to AR-15s as “high powered rifles”.
Another is the fact that ordinary citizens are always defenseless, none of them ever carry.
