re: #104 Dark_Falcon

Because some of the hostility to guns in general is rotted in ignorance or misunderstandings about firearms and their owners.

You’re not going to gain a better understanding of that by going to a firing range, though, and the assholes making shitty sexist comments to the women are as honest a representation as anyone else is.

Also, because getting people involved in a sporting activity and broadening its participant base is the best way to ensure its continued popularity and societal acceptance.

Yeah, I think that’s the actual reason.
