Breaking Bad has been known to push the envelope whether it is with drugs, violence, or sex. Throughout the last 5 seasons, many lives have been taken. But if you do keep up with the series, most people are killed with a handgun. Only during season two is Tuco using a MRA1 rifle.
The writers of Breaking Bad have decided to avoid using an assault riffle similar to the one used in Scarface. With gun control being such a hot button, I guess it’s no surprise they decided to not use these being that the show is very controversial as it is. An AR-15 has become one of the most commonly owned and controversial guns in the US. I can say I even have an AR-15. Because of their looks people see them as being more dangerous.
But don’t worry, Walt is still going to have quite a powerful gun, just not one that you see everyday like an AR-15. As seen in a previous season, a prelude to what is to expect at the end of the series, Walt pulls a M60 out of his trunk. A gun only used by Navy Seals and shoots 550 rounds per minute… wow
Guns are something that isn’t going to just go away. Just like alcohol and marijuana, it only makes it more dangerous for people to obtain. Breaking Bad shows just how easy it is for people to get guns. Both Jessie and Walt obtain a gun illegally. Gun control is not the answer, gun awareness is. People will always be able to get guns. It is more important that there be more awareness of what to do when they are in a dangerous situation involving a gun.
