This was another very interesting episode of Elementary!
But it was marred by the producers sticking their and the
management of the networks political views into the story-
line.
It was clever, it's injected in such a way that they probably
assume it will just wash over the majority of users who won't
think about it. It's a subtle form of brain-washing. Instead of
beating us over the head with boring rants they stick their
messages into popular TV shows to get them heard by as
people as possible.
Unfortunately they put a lie on the lips of Sherlock Holmes in
this storyline. He extols the effectiveness of gun buy back
programs and claims they are very effect.
What they are effect at is rounding up all the rusty, broken,
useless outdated guns. The vast majority of the guns turned in
ancient rusty non-working relics. Why not dig out some gun
you haven't used in 30 years and get some money out of it. God
knows only the government would pay money for. And while you
go home with some green in your pocket. The bureaucrats get
what they want, statistics. They trumpet the numbers of guns turned
in. But they don't mention anything about the condition of those
firearms.
But Hollywood gets in a little jab at our freedom. Our freedom to peace-
of-mind for those of us willing to protect ourselves. 911 can not save you
in a home invasion, or attempt by anyone to harm you. 911 will send out
someone to write a report and MAYBE find the person that beat you within
an of your life or even murdered you, your spouse, your family.
But that makes Hollywood uneasy, so they come up with stuff like this.
I'm not going to give the episode a bad review. It was another good story,
well acted, albeit with a couple unfortunate anti-American lines.
Why is it anti-American? Because proper rights and liberty are the basis
for the American experiment.
