'This Is What Kills Our Kids:' Gun Control Argument Sneaks Into SEAL Team 'Six' Series
The History Channel’s fictional drama Six provides a darker, more nuanced look into the personal and professional lives of SEAL Team Six operators. Although the show clearly displays the SEALs expertly using weapons in the field, there seems to be one place the show won’t accept them: in the home. In the dangerous world the show paints for us, the fact that they don’t want homeowners armed is even scarier.

After former SEAL Team leader Rip was murdered by a terrorist on American soil in the season 2 premiere, Jackie (Nadine Velazquez) fears that her their family could be targeted next. In the episode "Dua," that aired on June 6, she tells her husband Ricky (Juan Pablo Raba), a SEAL Team member, that she wants a gun.

Ricky doesn't like the idea and patronizingly dismisses her fears, claiming that a gun would only make her a danger to herself and others. Although the audience knows that SEALs and their families are in actual danger, Ricky "promises" they'll be safe without a gun.

So many revealing things in this story line.

So, according to this show, patriotic men who are sworn to defend the constitution don't believe their own families should be permitted to exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL rights.

Ricky feels superior to Jackie and wants her disarmed.

Ricky refuses to have a civil discussion and look at alternatives, he just chastises her for her ignorance and disobedience.

Ricky represents a democratic congressman.

The media/holywood/billionaires who have private security/ are all anti gun people...like late night comedy,awards shows; they all voice their political position.

I saw this episode as well and I said to my wife that if anything he should be training her to use it properly and encourage her to be armed. It's a shame when shows take a Twist like this.

Their conversation is less believable than everything every said on ancient aliens, another show on the "history" channel.

As I mentioned before in another thread, Hollywood and TV world are not out friends. They're pushing an agenda for disarmament. This is just one of many examples. But we all know this already.

Best way to fight this? Turn off the TV and hit the range, preferably with a new person who's never shot before but wants to learn or is on the fence about it. Show them that is not dangerous, it's safe, useful, could save your life one day, and absolutely fun! After a while introduce them to the Constitutional aspects of it. Maybe you'll just turn someone onto our side. Bonus points if it's a woman or a minority.

Been watching crap like this for over fifty years, the hollywood whack jobs aren't stupid. They start out a show with traditional values and an all American theme, then slowly morph it into a liberal PC bullshit crapfest once they got their audience. Oh' it works.

Ricky is a sexist pig who doesn't believe in women's equality.

Made no sense to me, you would think he would teach her to be safe handling it.

But read they cancelled the show.

This is the same show where the Seal shots are one shot one kill, and the enemy sprays hundreds of rounds and 1 person is wounded. Hollywood being Hollywood.

Well, Jackie needed a gun last night . . .
