I didn't like the episode. Having topical TV episodes is fine and all but a campy CW superhero show is not the place. Especially since it makes all the characters hypocrites because they are all vigilantes and half of them use guns.
I actually liked the episode because they touched on several topics surrounding the subject of gun control. In the end, Oliver passed a bill that looked good on paper, but didn't really offer any more protection than doing nothing. That was the perfect representation of real life.
I guess. I have a feeling that was more about the writers wanting to wrap up the episode but still not take one concrete stance or the other. So they pulled some vague, unspecified "everybody wins but we won't explain why that is" bill out of their ass to end the episode.

I think taking a hard stance on the show was never intended by the producers; however, they did make an effort to show the dangers of guns in the scene where Wild Dog tried to save his wife. She was shot accidentally when the gun dropped on the ground. This might have been a play on the, "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." I think the writers might have been giving an argument against that statement.

Oh, definitely.
To understand their motives further, check their usage of the words gun violence.
I like Curtis because he's another intellectual resource with many new innovative ideas. His fighting abilities are sub par, but I think he has plenty of room to grow in that area. Even though Curtis brings the homosexual debate to the surface, the show doesn't necessarily delve into that aspect of his life whenever he's on screen. We actually see his contributions to the team and being an active team member in the field.
Wild Dog--in my opinion--comes to the team with a lot of baggage: mentally, emotionally, and physically. He's a convicted felon who lost his wife to her drug dealer, and he lost his child to the state. He's definitely an interesting character with plenty of room to become a better person.
Rory--Ragman--Regan was kind of a bland, brooding character trying to find his purpose in life. Once he found out the reason for his catastrophic past, he had to find a new path in life. When he saved the city from a nuclear blast, he lost his powers, and I'm not sure where he's going after this. I can actually see him becoming a villain because he has a lot of rage inside of him. He reminds me of the quiet, soft spoken guy with a plethora of dead bodies in his basement.
The Canary, Dinah Drake, may have already served her purpose with her revenge killing of the men responsible for her partner's death, and now looking for a new path in life too. She's back on the police force, and from what I can tell, her nightly vigilante duties will probably interfere with her day job. It seems to be that Dinah is trying to put her life back in order. She found a job. She's renting an apartment. Eventually, I think she'll find another boyfriend. I'm waiting to see which direction she takes on the show: Black Canary or Civilian.

Mistake for the show. Mistake in real life, on top of that.

Well,it's a VERY controversial topic.Personally I think the gun registry is a GOOD idea.

I don't. Registration is the first step to confiscation.

I agree with the op, it was forced and preachy. Not liking the new BC, she seems forced also

I don't mind the new Black Canary. She has only been in like three episodes (counting this one). You need to give her a chance. At she isn't annoying.
I can't stand Wild Dog and Curtis though. Especially Curtis. He is awful. His costume also looks stupid.

I like Wild Dog, New Canary and Tathers (Rag guy?). Don't really like Curtis.
