FX's hit biker series, Sons of Anarchy, has recently stirred up some controversy, as its premiere episode of its upcoming sixth season is set to feature a school shooting scene.

While in atterndance at the 2013 TCA Press Tour last week, creator Kurt Sutter spoke about his rationale behind some of his storylines, according to Think Progress.

"Violence doesn't happen in a vacuum. If you do A, B is ultimately going to happen," he said.

Sutter continued to delve deeper into the Sons subject matter, explaining that the premiere is a key building block for the rest of the TV series' season.

"I will say that there's a lot of blood and guts in my show, you know, and it is a signature of the show, but it's also I feel like and I feel like I'm not lying to myself when I say this is that nothing is done gratuitously, that the events that happen in the premiere are really the catalyst for the third act of this morality play we're doing. I think it's really the conflict that has fueled the entire series,"
