Media Bias: Criminal Minds

I've talked about the bias against firearms on this show several times.  Since it's the series on queue that the other half and I are currently watching, I've gotten the chance to find more.  This one is from Season 6: Hanley Waters. A distraught and mentally disturbed woman goes to a gun shop to buy a gun. The owner tells her that without a license or carry permit, she has to wait 72 hours to get the gun.  Then he puts an application in front of her, leaving her and the handgun alone. 

Florida has no handgun licensing that I'm aware of but that's minor compared to the next bit. 

She loads the gun and blows away the owner and all the customers.  Cut to BAU headquarters:

Computer person does a victim check.  The owner and all the customers are described as middle-aged white men, divorced, with anger issues and histories of violence.  She tries to find .38 revolvers through a gun registry and finds 'hundreds' that meet their profile.  Florida has no registration. She then goes on a rant

Penelope Garcia: Florida's a stand-your-ground state.
Dr. Spencer Reid: Castle Doctrine based on English common law that allows homeowners to use deadly force to protect their land.
Penelope Garcia: Yeah, it's a highfalutin way of saying that the gun laws are lax at best. After the 2008 elections, the Floridians were nervous about losing their second amendment rights, and gun sales shot through the roof, pun intended.

So we have demonization/stereotyping of firearm owners through negative portrayals, attacks/commentary on pro-gun laws that had nothing to do w/ the case at hand, and even some Obama propaganda added into the mix. 

Gotta love it.
