Probably something to it.

It's true! I have Goth friends who own more firepower than all of RPD! We have "Come'Heres" who have NO interest in hunting, but LOVE MSSAs (Military Styled Semi-Autos).

It's not just for rural folks.

I see what they're talking about. Tis interesting. As a side note, many of us hunters quit buying licenses when we got land of our own to hunt on.

Honestly... I think I fall into this 2.0 group. Even though I have continuously owned firearms from 1989 to today, I recently got into the AR platform for the cool factor, the ability to use it for defense, the ability to use it to hunt, and the competitive aspects. Though I don't compete now, my goal is to enjoy that aspect of it someday soon.

But the biggest plus... if another country thinks we are going to have a ground war in the US... I don't care how old I get... "there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass." And if our our government slips and the people need to restore the glory of our Constitutional government by force... then so be it. The people will be ready.

I definitely fall into 2.0. Just like to hear the *DING* as I hit the AR500 steel from 300m with my PSL. I don't think there was anyone over 30 at the last AK build party (except me).

2.0 Amendment... I think that's a great name for a gun group.

Even I have transitioned from a fellow who thought a gun should be a thing of blued steel and handsome wood melded by good craftsmanship and regarded "those ugly, soulless black plastic rifles" with disdain to one who appreciates and enjoys them. So I'd note that a lot of us "gun culture 1.0" folks may have also changed our gun ownership philosophy to some extent. And for that matter, if I see someone with body piercings, tattoos, and black lipstick at a range working on their marksmanship, I know that against all odds we have something in common.

I have converted my daughter. Still working on converting the wife, but time is very limited. So far, I failed to convert some liberal friends - yet.
So far, my contribution is one new future shooter.
