'HAWAII FIVE-O' SQUEEZES ANTI-GUN SERMON INTO LATEST EPISODE
Last night's episode of Hawaii Five-O featured one of the show's characters going on a rant against "gun nuts" and the lack of both strict gun regulations and a pervasive, privacy-invading registration process.
Later in the same episode, the character apologized for lacking a warrant to review records of owners of post office boxes because it is an invasion of their right to privacy.
The episode, titled Hookman, is a remake of the 1973 fan favorite from the original Jack Lord series. The story featured a double amputee who lost his hands in the commission of a crime decades ago who later takes revenge against members of the Hawaii Police Department that put him in jail.
But this year's model was not a carbon copy of the original. Unlike the 1973 episode, this version let one of the characters go on a tirade against guns, gun laws and gun owners.
