The Gun is the 3rd episode of Season 6 in the original version of MacGyver.
Summary[]
When a cop is shot, a gun used to assassinate a presidential candidate years ago is found, leading investigators to accuse MacGyver's friend from the youth center of the crime.
Trivia[]
This episode was produced in reaction to the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer by a crazed fan.
Pete Thornton: Well, that is about 1,000 guns that nobody is gonna use on anybody else.
MacGyver: Yeah. A 1,000 down. Only a 100 million to go.
Goofs[]
MacGyver and other characters are locked inside a container with heavy weapons for transport. This is not a plausible course of action for any credible weapons industry merchant. In particular, this was a candy shop for someone like Mac.
