Last Friday's episode of Hawaii Five-0, “Ke Ku ‘Ana,” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/49138-s07e05-ke-k%C5%AB-ana-the-stand/?do=getLastComment)is full of embarrassing falsehoods and other anti-gun propaganda.
Kyle Kane is a deranged father who blames gun culture for the mass shooting perpetrated by his son, so he holds a room full of hostages at gunpoint to send a message. Left unstated: Kyle’s son obtained his firearm through a straw purchase, a process that is already illegal and carries a sentence of up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the purchase alone even if the illegally purchased firearm were never used in another crime.
As irrational as Kyle’s rant may be, at least he can claim ignorance. For Detective Danny Williams, there are no convenient excuses. As a law enforcement officer he should know better. Instead, he agrees with the murderer (Kyle had already murdered a social media star famous for his gun collection), explaining that, as a cop, he is also “outraged at how easy it is to get a gun, no questions asked.”
