Why does MacGyver like Westerns?

I noticed this topic came up once on the MacGyver Online forums, so I thought I would ask it here.
Why do you think MacGyver likes Westerns, since they are often violent and full of guns, which he despises?
I'm not a huge fan of the genre myself, but I have seen enough of them to provide a theory. If you look past the gunplay and violence in most Westerns, there is usually a message about doing the right thing in the face of adversity. They're basically morality plays. Since Mac is such a moral man himself, I imagine that on some level Westerns appeal to his own sense of ethics and justice.
That's just my opinion, of course. What do you guys think?
