Another TV Character saying: “I told you that I don’t like guns,” CW’s The Professionals

Aug 20, 2024 | Media Bias

This episode of CW’s’ “The Professionals” was released on August 1, 2020, and it has a standard line in so many television and movies where characters say things like: “I told you that I don’t like guns.” Unlike most shows, there is some push back on this, but the person making the claim about not liking guns has the final word on it.
