Many people dislike this episode because they don't think it feels right with Mindy Kaling's character and the chemistry between the characters feels wierd. NEWSFLASH, that's the entire point! This episode is a commentary on long running sitcoms that try to replace long running characters and end up feeling stale and unfunny. Intentionally the gang is not normal, they are actually succeeding and might actually pull off a plan, and it feels weird. Then Dennis' doll starts messing with them and everything starts going down the crapper, because that is what It's Always Sunny has always been about. When Dennis arrived at the end of the episode and everything felt natural again, I was grinning like an idiot. The point of the episode is to make it feel wrong and then give you the payoff at the end, and honestly, I really enjoyed it. I think the brilliance of this episode is lost on some people, which really is a shame.

This episode is not only funny in the absurd ways charlie and mac try to defend a school and how Frank 'dupes' everybody, but it also represents opposing sides of the argument quite well. As a conservative I appreciate the scenes of Dee and Dennis trying to prove how easy it is to buy a gun and failing miserably, but I think the attempts to show Charlie and Mac changing their minds kinda dumb. giving weapons to CHILDREN and having bad results doesn't prove that providing the option for grown adults to purchase a weapon of their choice is a bad idea. I greatly appreciate that this show didn't go the traditional route of mainstream media and go straight toward the liberal viewpoint. Very good episode with a couple flaws so 9/10.
