If you're trying to make a point, don't contradict it

It was nice to see the story line about Remy's mom advancing and coming to a somewhat sweet place by episode end.

Once again, we lose another male lead, whose absence is explained witha throw away line about transfer.

Then there's the sloppy, agenda driven writing. We get it, you think guns are bad and are the cause of crime. But when your depraved bad guy, who's so sick he murders children, shouts "Thank God for the 2nd amendment" after killing a cop with a STOLEN (ie not acquired by the laws laid out or the 2nd amendment) its clear you are writing only about agenda and not well thought out.

Then there's the trotting out, over and over again, the term "military style assault rifle" that was invented by media members who thought it could be used to scare anyone who was too lazy to look up what the AR of "AR 15" stands for. It stands for Armalite Rifle, by the way, not assault Rifle, and its not used by the military, at all.

But the cream of the lazy writing, contradicting your own point, crop was when the father of a murdered child, who wants to make a point that that those who push for gun rights are responsible for gun crime, goes and buys a STOLEN GUN, illegally, from a black market arms dealer in his trailer. Because having a guy buy a gun illegally, expressly to commit a crime, definitely drives home your point that having legal guns is a problem.

Yes, I don't agree with the narrative, but the lazy writing that contradicts the point its trying to make is even worse.
