Yet Another Unsuccessful Defensive Gun Use on Entertainment Television, USA Network’s The Rainmaker

Sep 27, 2025 | Media Bias

Television show bias against guns is never-ending. You won’t see an entertainment television show that has a civilian successfully using a gun defensively. Instead, something always seems to go wrong when guns are used defensively (from being fatally shot by the criminal without stopping the crime to getting in the way of police to continually having the gun stolen and use in a crime to it being used in an accidental shooting). Unfortunately, this episode of USA Network’s The Rainmaker is no different (Season 1, Episode 5, September 12, 2025). In this episode, a woman tries to use a gun defensively to protect herself and her friend against a man who had kidnapped her friend, but she is knocked out and put into a coma. The woman with a gun fails to protect her friend.

If you watched entertainment television these days, you would never know that people use guns defensively some 2 million times a year. If you want some examples of people successfully using guns to stop crimes, here are some examples. Other examples of people using guns to stop mass public shootings are available here.

Here is a video on Hollywood’s bias against guns.
