Just a quickie.
People who call us gun nuts have never met us. Those who see us a redneck, right-wing militia members have never ever been to a gun range before and actually met the people they deride.
The less exposed to firearms a person is the more they will parrot the standard the Brady Bunch line since they don't know any better.
And those who refuse to go to a range or expose themselves to gun owners are willfully ignorant and weak, unintelligent people (who generally consider themselves smarter than others).
More to come later.
