Regarding the issue of prisons: I'm really a little bit disturbed that some of y'all think that America should become more like a Third World authoritarian state. I realize that sometimes, it seems like scumbags in this country get better treatment than they deserve for breaking the law, but trying to deprive them of ANY luxuries doesn't seem to me like it's good for either society or the guards who work at prisons.
Anyway, back OT: A while ago, I watched an episode of "M.A.N.T.I.S." (a superhero TV show from the mid-1990s that starred Carl Lumbly) called "Tango Blue", which was apparently made as propaganda to support the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban (being signed into law at the time). It promotes a whole bunch of myths about "assault weapons" (namely, that they're fully-automatic) and involves the hero sponsoring a gun buy-back program.
