As someone who has watched cops shows his whole life, this did not offend me. Taking an anti-gun stance on a tv cop show where the victim was murdered with a gun seems to be in line with investigating cop's beliefs. This comes as a shock or are we now overly sensitive to any anti-gun statement?

When a commentator makes a tirade against guns on a nationally televised football game, that is out of line. When a national talk show host used his forum to preach anti-gun, that still rankels us but it is his show so he can do what he wishes. When the president and senators and law makers preach lies to line up their anti-gun agendas, they are going against their pledge to uphold the Constitution of the United States. When a cop tv show has a brief statement against guns, it's an actor on a tv show reading his script. We have enough to fight without worrying about lines on tv shows. There are anti-gun people out there. We just need to know which fight to engage in.
