In my (much) younger days, I was 2 points away from going to a national shoot, and that was BEFORE I got the glasses I needed. I have never seen a need to own or fire a gun since then, and most of my contemporaries have seen a need either; maybe it's a Canadian thing...

I am totally puzzled by the American attitude towards firearms, and I will likely never understand.

It's a national fascination/idolatry with The Duke. 20 or 30% percent of the population wakes up each morning imagining that they walk and talk like him. As long as they're not pointing a gun at you at the moment it's really kind of cute.
