Most gun enthusiasts remember Descovery Channels Show, Sons of Guns. Set it Louisiana, Sons of Guns followed the Hayden familys struggling gun shop business. It was a mildly entertaining show that let the viewer behind the scenes of some of their exotic and often ridiculous gun builds. The late Chris Kyle even appeared in one […]
