Gun Focused T.V Show Gets New Security After Newtown Shooting



The popularity of gun related T.V shows have been greatly affected after the killing in Newtown, Conn. "Sons of Guns" is aired on Discovery Channel and is about custom made assault rifles, sniper rifles, or just about any other form of weapon you can think of. Laurie Goldberg, a spokeswomen for Discovery Channel, could not state definitively what future, if any the show had. Goldberg stated that the show is not on schedule and is not on the schedule in the near future. Ms. Goldberg said that decision was unrelated to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School and Discovery had quietly decided to drop the series three months ago. Others gun related shows such as "American Gun" have dropped in ratings recently also.

Storage Wars on A&E

So, you might have heard of a TV show called Storage Wars - it is a reality TV show where there is an auction of storage units/lockers. In California, when rent is not paid on a storage unit in three months, it is auctioned off. The main auctioneer, Dan Dotson, is a likeable guy who talks extremely fast like most auctioneers do. There is brutal competition between Dave Hester, Barry Weiss, Darrell Sheets, and the pair of Jarrod Schultz and Brandi Passante. All of these characters are hilarious in their own way, and buying lockers and selling what is in them is how they get their income! They never know what they might find, valuable or not...

Watch Storage Wars on A&E on weeknights!
