Amazon’s Bosch Legacy recently showed a case where a civilian with a gun stops a robbery of a man and his wife when their car pulled into their driveway. Television show bias against guns is never-ending. You won’t see an entertainment television show that has a civilian successfully using a gun defensively. Instead, something always seems to go wrong when guns are used defensively (from being fatally shot by the criminal without stopping the crime to getting in the way of police to continually having the gun stolen and use in a crime to it being used in an accidental shooting). But this episode of Amazon’s Bosch Legacy is very unusual (Season 3, Episode 3, March 26, 2025).
If you watched entertainment television these days, you would never know that people use guns defensively some 2 million times a year. If you want some examples of people successfully using guns to stop crimes, here are some examples. Other examples of people using guns to stop mass public shootings are available here. More examples of television coverage of defensive gun uses are available here.
Here is a video on Hollywood’s bias against guns.
