Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the 2015 documentary Misery Loves Comedy, Freddie Prinze Jr. (who was in the documentary to discuss the life, career, and death of his father, legendary comedian Freddie Prinze) said that when he booked his first-ever professional acting job on this show, he was so excited that he went directly from the audition location on the Warner Brothers lot to Forest Lawn Cemetery (which was behind Warner Brothers) to tell his father the news. Prinze Jr. played the character "Tough Guy" on the season six episode "The Gun," a "message" episode that tacked the issue of gun violence; his father Freddie Prinze Sr. died in 1977 at the age of 22 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Steve Urkel: [rapping on a bullhorn] Step on up and turn in your gun, the cops are here so you don't have to run, everybody knows that guns aren't cool, so turn yours in and don't be a fool, if you don't have a gun then turn in your knife, we'll take anything to save a life, hooooo!

There are of course the comic moments, I really like it when Steve and even Waldo act as secret service agents for Laura, even going so far as to having those wireless communicators. Really like the moment when Steve as usual takes things a tad too far when he interrogates a fellow nerd that clearly isn't guilty but Steve's paranoia says otherwise, he goes so far as to search him and he rubs the nerd's really smooth shaved head, that was comic bronze. Though I can emphasize with Steve's overprotectiveness, I wouldn't say it would go so far as to do what Urkel would do but if anyone ever hurt my significant other, I would be highly concerned about her safety too.
But of course, the comedy soon ends as we see things get serious, this girl gang Laura encounters are just scum suckers you really plain dislike. Like this one moment when one of the girl gang members makes a nasty remark to Steve, Steve then makes a cleaver retort after hearing that I though, good one Steve. Of course, we see this gang goes so far as to threaten Laura life by flashing a gun, at that moment things got scary, I'll admit seeing that gun I actually got worried for Laura and even Steve's lives.
Everything starts to escalate out of control when we see Laura is tempted into buying a firearm to protect herself, despite Steve's protection it may not be enough because even he's not bullet proof. Like Steve even I don't want Laura to buy a gun, I understand what she's doing but it's not protection it's fear. And of course, my worst fear comes to pass when a shooting occurs. Things like this just goes to show that Steve and Laura still live in the real world and are just as mortal as all of us.
Really like the end which had a good message on taking action now, putting a stop to the issue puts a stop to fear.
