Just finished watching it on the DVR. I was very impressed that although they did find a stereotyped "gun nut" (single dad in a double-wide with ratty furniture and American flags on the walls), he was a calm, articulate, reasonable person.
My only quibble with the production (rather than what the people themselves said) was Spurlock beginning the show by saying gun ownership was a right that "given to us" by the founding fathers.
I agree with the dad (Ken?): I respect Pia for giving it a try. I think that in the end she saw that the difference in Brockton and Leesburg isn't just gun ownership, it's mainly that she lives surrounded by criminals.

Re: "30 Days" Season 3, Episode 5 - "Gun Nation"
I haven't watched it yet (the teenager who cancelled it on tivo because she was too busy watching live tv has been duly counseled), but I appreciate the reviews thus far.
Let me say that in general, I hold Morgan Spurlock several degrees below Michael Moore when it comes to honesty, objectivity, and truthful reporting. In this case, I'm glad to read that he at least attempted to counterbalance the content.

I set the tivo for this one. I checked just now, and it didn't record.
The 18 year old daughter and I will be having a conversation that wouldn't pass the 10 year old daughter rule.
