Blatant and shameless self-promotion


Love the concept of this show, and really wanted to enjoy it, but Rick the host/owner is the most obnoxious, money grubbing self promoter since puff daddy. Every single sale he navigates the customer away from buying what they want, and into dropping everything in their pocket on a custom fun. Not once have I seen him mention that his guns are made from softer metals, therefore more prone to break or warp. You will notice when he made a gun for his wife he dropped the extra money on proper castings. He actually has the nerve in the same episode that it is the most "blinged out" gun in the world. Am I to believe a gun shop owner has never seen pictures of drug dealers guns? And, if you are so content running how well of you are in peoples faces, why can't you afford Tony your wife a proper set of guns? And, I understand you consider yourself a cowboy, but it gets a little creepy when your wife looks that much like a horse. Spoiling your kids like that is a recipe for disaster, Kurt actually seems to have survived with a level head, and good work ethic. The little girl already has a princess complex, she's gonna be a handful, but that's karma. I am glad however that its perceived as Cristian to dress your little girl like a hooker, and flaunt her on TV. If I have to hear about your helicopter one more time I'm gonna vomit. I grew up in new England, in a nice community, and understand what new money looks like. When you are loaded, and still act like a chump that won the lottery, that's just the white-trash bleeding through. Not to mention the boss is a complete Ass, I have never seen a man work so hard to massage his own who. It couldn't be more obvious his employees hate him, but who does want a condescending tough guy boss. Not to mention complete lack of a personality, he is the perfect American puppet, PC as hell and wouldn't dare ever develop his own set of opinions. One of those millions of successful businessmen who's whole success has revolved around immoral, heartless decisions, but will be the first to shove God down your throat. On the bright side, they do make some pretty cool stuff. Would be a good show, if the owner wasn't so goddamn loathsome.

A couple of paragraph breaks would have been nice.
