Starting to realize the A-Team running around with machine guns in a DIY-armored vehicle may actually be problematic.

A group of highly unstable, heavily-armed wanted criminals running a domestic mercenary unit. If you have a problem, if you think that violence and property destruction is the answer, and if you can find them in spite of many years of law enforcement efforts to do the same, maybe you can hire... the A-Team [gun fire, theme tune starts]

If they let the B-Team do it, then I'd be worried.

I always thought A-Team fans were the problem :/. Except Murdock. I'm a Murdock fan. They were holding him back!

fortunately we still have Airwolf, the story of a privateer flying a next-generation helicopter into whatever situations his ex-navy commander tells him to 😎

Luckily, in however many seasons, they never managed to kill anyone.

@Slashline I wonder if there’s an article out there that’s “All the characters you loved who would be MAGAts today.” Not that I want to think about it, mind you.

was KIT a government project, or was every show from the 80s and 90s about vigilantes viewed through the rosiest of glasses? like, there’s no way macguyver was even a darpa guy, right?

Fortunately they were magic guns that never kill or wound anyone, and so were the guns used by their adversaries.

And they basically built a killdozer every other episode.

I pity the fool who doesn't respect our constitutional right to recklessly spray bullets in crowded urban environments! I do!
in reply to batkaren

imagine a world where mainstream TV and films are secretly funded by the gun lobby. How different would it be to this one?
in reply to batkaren

But they're safe machine guns, nobody ever gets killed.
in reply to batkaren

but but but ... but they were good guys with guns!

Wait. Did MTG think the A-Team was a documentary? Would explain so much.
in reply to batkaren

we're making unsubstantiated assumptions about their mental health and attitude

@zappaszep KITT was a product of Knight Industries, a private company.

Wilton Knight was a dying billionaire and his big idea was a nigh indestructible car with a sarcastic AI onboard, driven by a vigilante ex cop that gets his face shot off.
Reconstructive surgery is used to make the ex cop look like Wilton Knights evil son. Nobody mentions this until years later when the evil son turns up with an evil truck.

Might be kinda great if we had more people like that going around organizing labor unions.

Question: What is the A-Team?
in reply to batkaren

Would it change your thinking if you considered also that they never actually wound anyone with those guns?

The Right to Repair is tightly bound to the right to weld steel plates on to late model automobiles and stage zero-mortality assault weapon shoot-outs.
