Episode synopsis
With the US presidential race in full swing, Kevin McGahern dives into trigger-happy America to meet the paranoid patriots who want smaller government and bigger guns. In a gun store in North Carolina, Kevin hears how recent mass shootings have triggered bumper firearm sales, with an AR-15 flying off the rack every 8 minutes following the Dallas attacks—“what’s bad for the country is good for business”. In Florida, Kevin gets schooled by a group of survivalists eager to teach him how to disarm a would-be attacker. These dedicated preppers are ready to defend themselves and their families against any threat from hurricanes to kidnapping and, of course, zombie apocalypse. Kevin also joins a group of activists in Detroit as they stage an “open carry walk”, patrolling the neighbourhood with large semi-automatic weapons on full display as a reminder to passersby of what it means to be a free citizen of the United States.
